Whole Wheat Waffles
Trying to add extra fiber to your family's diet? These whole-grain waffles are a tasty place to start. They're so crisp and light, no one will ever suspect they're made with 100% whole wheat flour!
Servings: 3 generous round Belgian-style (deep pocket) 7" waffles, or 10 small square waffles
Ingredients
- 1½ cups (170g) King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1½ cups (340g) milk, lukewarm
- 5 tablespoons (71g) butter, melted or ⅓ cup (67g) vegetable oil
- cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron while you make the waffle batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the egg, milk, and butter or oil.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. The batter will be a bit lumpy; that's OK.
- Cook the waffles as directed in the instructions that came with your waffle iron. (⅓ cup of batter for 3 minutes or more, per waffle)
- Serve warm
Notes
Tips from our Bakers
-
If you or your family are very sensitive to whole wheat's sometimes assertive flavor, try substituting 2 tablespoons orange juice for 2 tablespoons of the milk in this recipe. The OJ tames whole wheat's potentially tannic taste, without adding any citrus flavor of its own.
