Waffle with healthy fat and grains. For a quick toaster breakfast, freeze well! The recipe yield is for thin waffles; for Belgian waffles, I’d assume it would be at least half that. Sliced banana is my preferred topping.

Reviews
Excellent recipe! Very easy to prepare and crispy every time.
After a pre-diabetic diagnosis, we are trying to eat more whole grains and healthier. But living in Guatemala, it is hard to find “exotic” ingredients like pastry flour. But this recipe for waffles hits all our high points. I am one of those who use recipes as a place to start, not stop. I soaked a whole grain mixture of bulgar, red rice and other grains overnight, then used whole wheat flour. My hubby likes bacon in his waffles, so after cooking the bacon I added coconut oil to make 1/3 cup. I used stevia in place of sugar, but otherwise made these pretty much as written. We have been looking for something for breakfast beyond eggs and love these waffles. I will be making these more often, and can see them being a big hit with guests. Thanks so much. Good stuff.
Great recipe! Easy and delicious! I used light coconut milk
awesome!!!
Says it makes 8 servings. I followed the recipe to a T and it made watery batter, so thin floppy waffles, and only 6 on a small circle iron. I ended up adding 1/2 cu. more flour and 1/2 tsp. More baking powder halfway through bc they were soooo floppy, despite turning my iron heat way up. They are yummy but need tweaking.
I used whole wheat flour instead of whole wheat pastry flour.
Very thick batter. I am new to using coconut oil and it worked great in this recipe! Liked these but the kids prefer “regular” waffles over these.
Tasty! Great texture!
Best waffles ever! I use the blend tec blender to grind the wheat berries into flour. I also use honey instead of sugar. My whole family love them even my anti whole wheat kiddos.
I used light olive oil instead of coconut oil and the waffles were very good.
I was not sure how these were going to taste but they are crazy good. I did substitute buttermilk for the regular milk and will be making these again.
Great recipe – thank you! This time I used the exact ingredients listed, but I will try it with raw sugar in the future. (The raw sugar will have to be mixed with the liquid ingredients instead of the dry ones.) Thanks again!!!
Used coconut milk and they were great.
Excellent recipe. All I had was pastry flour and these came out light and fluffy with a crunchy exterior. I wouldn’t change a thing. No, it didn’t make that many waffles but i’m guesing you can always double the recipe.
Crisp on the outside, melt in your mouth on the inside!! I used coconut milk and half coconut oil/ half applesauce and they still turned out amazing!!
These are fabulous — probably the best home made waffle I’ve ever had!! I followed the recipe except: I increased vanilla to 1 tsp., and (as others have done) I substituted light brown sugar for the white sugar. These waffles have it all: dense, great aroma, and they are delicious! I’m always going to make these from now on! Thanks, JulieE!!
A very simple and basic recipe that you can twerk in many ways; I used butter milk and coconut oil and they came out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I also added a 1/4 tsp coconut extract along with the vanilla extract. I might use brown sugar next time just to liven up the flavor, maybe use a bit less flour. All in all, a great go to recipe for waffles.
First time I made this exact to the recipe and they were great (made 6 waffles). Since then I’ve been asked constantly by the family for more….so each time, I do something a little different. Like adding bacon chopped fine and sub brown sugar for the white sugar. Variations include adding flax meal, hemp hearts…but always turn out nicely and make a nice crisp waffle.
My new favorite recipe for whole wheat waffles, the Belgian waffles turned out crisp on the outside and fluffy tender inside. I used unsweetened coconut milk, and subbed Swerve for the sugar. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Delicious! Made exactly as written and it came out very well. It’s also easy to make, which is a big plus. Only bad thing – it doesn’t make enough. I’ll likely double the recipe next time.
Our favorite. Perfect as is. This morning I used buttermilk and mashed bananas into a couple. So good! Thank you!
