How to Serve Whole Wheat Waffles
Serve your Whole Wheat Waffles warm, topped with fresh fruits like berries or bananas. You can also add maple syrup, yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. They make a perfect breakfast or snack!
How to Store Whole Wheat Waffles
If you have leftover waffles, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They can be reheated in the toaster or microwave.
Tips to Make Whole Wheat Waffles
- Make sure to measure your flour correctly to avoid dense waffles. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off.
- For extra fluffiness, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until soft peaks form before folding them into the batter.
- If you want a sweeter waffle, add more organic cane sugar or try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
Variation
You can add different mix-ins to the batter such as chocolate chips, nuts, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. This adds a twist to your classic Whole Wheat Waffles!
