My son initally was disappointed when he stopped in the kitchen to see me making blueberry waffles. He is a bit of a purist that way: plain waffles. He gave them a shot and ate 7. You read that right - 7!

They are deliciou and are made with whole grains for added nutritional benefit and I think act as the perfect foil for the Blueberry Maple syrup.

What is White Whole Wheat Flour - I discovered white whole wheat flour when the boys were toddlers during one of our farmer’s market runs and brought a bag or two home. I absolutely loved it. It is a whole grain, however, it is made with a different variety of wheat. The result is a less nuttier and heartier flour than the traditional whole wheat flour and it‘s lighter in color so these waffles are slightly lighter and more golden than whole wheat waffles. Little details like that help when trying to persuade finnicky eaters.

Note on Waffle Batter: typically I whisk my egg whites in the mixer and fold them into the batter for a ligher and airy waffle. However, there are days that I don’t feel like dirtying up another appliance if I don’t have to. So, I skipped this step here and they were still wildly delicious with a slight crunchy exterior with a fluffy, textured interior.

For storage: I usually make a large batch, and if there are any leftovers, I freeze them in ziploc bags. They freeze beautifully and perfect for a quick weekday morning breakfast.
