Fluffy Whole Wheat Waffles will make anyone jump out of bed in the morning for breakfast! I've taken my favorite waffle recipe and added the goodness of whole grains to make it even better! Light, fluffy and so darn delicious, you'll be wishing it was morning all day long! 

Waffles...I just love them!

My boys love waffles too, and when my old waffle iron broke, they replaced it for me with what has become my favorite tool in the kitchen...my waffle iron.  I couldn't imagine life without waffles, and I guess they couldn't either! When my sons are home for the weekends, waffles for breakfast is a top request. 

To help make my beloved Golden Honey Waffle recipe a bit more nutritious, I subbed out part of the all purpose flour for whole wheat. What I got was perfection! Waffles with a crisp exterior, but a light and fluffy exterior and slightly sweet from the honey. Whipping the egg whites and folding them into the batter is a must! I learned this technique from a Belgium foreign exchange student who shared her mother's recipe for Belgium waffles with me a few years ago. Don't skip this extra step, it's so worth it in the end. 

Yes, making waffles from scratch is a little labor intensive, but so worth the little bit of extra work. Trust me! IF you have any leftover waffles, these waffles freeze beautifully. To reheat the frozen waffles, I just pop them into a toaster and toast until they are hot. I normally double this recipe so that I have a few waffles leftover to give to the boys to take back to college. 

Are you a waffle lover? How do you like to top your waffles?
