One of my most favorite items to have for breakfast is waffles, so I couldn’t have a gift week without including a waffle mix. This whole wheat waffle mix is also healthy for you. They include whole wheat flour with equal amounts of regular all-purpose flour. This is the one way I can get my kids to each whole wheat. I have to mix it with regular.
The mix is pretty basic. You just combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. This recipe will make 4 batches of waffles. You can store the mix in an air tight container for a month.
I elected to make these in my BIG Belgian waffle maker, but will probably opt for my regular or smaller Belgian maker next time. I could only eat half a waffle because they are so filling. So a smaller version would be perfect. Gift this mix with syrups like with the pancake mix I shared on Monday or give it with a waffle maker. The whole wheat waffle mix can also be given just by itself.

Notes
To prepare waffles:
2 large eggs, separated
4 Tbsp butter, melted
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup milk (whole is best but any milk will work)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups waffle mix
1. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
2. In another large bowl, whisk egg yolks, buttermilk, milk and vanilla together. Then slowly whisk in melted butter.
3. Add 2 cups of waffle mix to the buttermilk mixture. Stir until combined, then stir in a big spoonful of the egg whites. (This will lighten to batter to better fold in the remaining egg whites)
4. Add the remaining egg whites and gently fold in.
5. Cook waffles per the manufacturers instructions for your waffle maker. Makes 8 medium sized waffles.

This recipe made the perfect waffles! Crispy on the outside and mmmmmoist on the inside. A huge hit!! I only had skim milk on hand, so I added 3 TBS greek yogurt for a little fat and 2 TBS lemon juice as a buttermilk replacement.
There is a bit of a discrepancy in the notes of the recipe. Is it 3/4 c of buttermilk?
Thanks!! Looks delish!
Healthier waffles! I love it! This recipe looks really easy too 🙂 Pinned!
