Whole Grain Waffle Mix

Mix up a batch of Whole Grain Waffle Mix to give your waffles a healthy, high-fiber boost.

Every time I hear the word waffles, I hear it in Donkey’s voice. I can’t help it. And it makes me smile every single time.

You would think I’d have been making my own waffles for years now, but no, the very first time was this morning… and it happens to be a snow day here in Cincinnati. It’s only our second one for the school year, so I’m pretty happy about it. Though I’m hopeful everyone will be back at school tomorrow. We are coming off a 4-day weekend already…

This whole grain waffle mix is definitely a healthier option than a typical Belgian waffle. They are stick-to-your-ribs food. I found the recipe at Epicurious and was intrigued by the mix of coarse corn meal, whole wheat and spelt flour, plus whole oats. All ingredients found easily at my Kroger and it makes enough mix for at least three mornings… maybe four.

They are dense and tasty. And the true testimony that they aren’t “weird” is that our kids gobbled them up. So, super whole grain and kid friendly, I’ll take it. Waffffles!
