Whole Wheat Waffles with Warmed Blueberry Topping

Hi Everyone,

I am excited for today’s recipe.  This is the first time I have ever made waffles.  I tried it once on my old waffle maker and it didn’t work out at all.  It was a mess!!  So now I thought I would re-try and make waffles again and let me tell you, they turned out perfect!  They are fat, crispy and ohhhh so perfect!

This is a healthy Whole Wheat Waffle topped with warmed blueberries. Oh baby! A perfectly filling breakfast. Really, one waffle filled me up for hours and my Husband ate two and he was stuffed!  I think I am in love with my new waffle maker. I made the waffles a little light, but next time I may go a pinch darker, but all in all it turned out perfect.

I got this recipe from King Arthur Flour. I did make some adaptions to make it dairy free, but as always I did add substitutes for my dairy friends. One thing I have been having an issue with being dairy free is fat and carbs. I usually use fat-free milk in recipes like this, but in this recipe I used unsweetened coconut milk. So I am still working on fat-free recipes. Any suggestions on a non-dairy fat-free milk, I would love that!  Is there such a thing?
For the topping I went simple and heated up some frozen blueberries in the microwave. I added a little bit of stevia to sweetened them up. It’s a perfect and simple topping for waffles or pancakes. Plus it goes so good with maple syrup. If you’re not a blueberry fan, strawberries, blackberries, cherries and raspberries would work in the same concept as the blueberries. In the picture I topped it with whip cream. That was for my Husband! I ate the waffle in the middle so I didn’t have whip cream. 🙁 But either way I didn’t miss it in this recipe!! 🙂

This was the second half to my Husbands birthday breakfast. I served it with Thursday’s Candied Bacon. Oh I am still thinking of that bacon. With the addition of maple syrup on the waffles and dribbled down onto the bacon, oh man so darn good! This was one heck of a good breakfast!!!  We should have a birthday celebration every weekend!

Now that I know how to make waffles, I can’t wait to try out other recipes. You know how I like to get all crazy with pancakes, so now it will be waffles.  ha ha I can’t wait!!   My goal is to be able to make a less calorie, higher protein waffle. I’ll get there! I’m still practicing on dairy free living.

I can’t believe it is already November! Can you believe Christmas is next month? Are you ready for this? I’m not! Though I am looking forward to Thanksgiving this year? Not sure why, since it’s normally just my Husband and I, and I end up cooking a crazy big meal. But that means lots of fun leftovers!

Have a super fabulous day!!

Toodles,
