What’s for breakfast this weekend? How about some yummy, healthy, easy-to-make, homemade waffles! You do need a waffle iron for this recipe, but I definitely think it is worth the $25 – 30 investment for a low priced model. I am still using my parents’ old waffle iron, which has to be at least 20 years old. It is incredibly basic and always does the trick whenever we are in the mood for some homemade waffles.
I made this exact recipe the other morning and lost count at how many my kids ate. I love that they can eat something so wholesome and still enjoy it. I of course made sure they ate plenty of fruit before giving them their second and third helpings though. If your kids aren’t as into eating this breakfast then consider enticing them with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream on top! And don’t forget to freeze the leftovers.
Whole-Wheat Waffles
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 ¾ cups milk I have used everything from skim milk to thick buttermilk…so whatever you have on hand should work
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon ground
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- pure maple syrup warmed, for serving
- fruit for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat your waffle iron.
-
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, honey, cinnamon, and baking soda until well combined.
-
Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk together just until the large lumps disappear.
-
When the waffle iron is hot, dab it with a little butter and then ladle some batter onto the center of the iron. Follow the instructions that came with your waffle maker to know how long it should be cooked (mine takes about 3 - 4 minutes each).
-
Keep waffles warm until you finish cooking all of them. Top with pure maple syrup and fruit. Enjoy!

Do these freeze well?
Yes! :)
can you make these as pancakes?
I do. :)
These turned out AWESOME! I did tweak a bit to make vegan for myself (chia seed instead of egg, almond milk, & coconut oil) & added a teaspoon of vanilla. Holy crap were these amazing!! Definitely making again thank you :)
How do you use Chia seed for egg?
I do 1 tbls chia seeds or flax seed mixed with 3 tbls water – let it sit for 10 min. That replaces one egg.
in this recipe it says to add oil but there’s no oil present in the ingredients. so i added the 1/4 cup of butter, and it turned out lumpy. is that supposed to be the oil ? very confused .
I’m not certain, but I think the butter is meant to be the oil. Did you melt it? It shouldn’t be lumpy if the butter is liquid, maybe try mixing some more? Good luck!
I was confused about the oil too but they meant melted butter. I avoided the butter clumping by warming up eggs and milk to room temperature.
I found batter to be to watery. I warmed up eggs and milk so melted butter wouldn’t clump. My family enjoyed it so it was a win.
The waffle mix did not get crispy no matter how long it was cooked… (forgot a waffle in the maker for 30 mins while on high heat… the waffle was still soggy when I opened it to clean out the waffle maker)
But other than that the waffles did taste great!
These are awesome …….made extra for the freezer
started my 100 a week ago !
Delicious!
Just made these for my granddaughter. They are very light and fluffy. I did add Mexican vanilla. Gives a good flavor. Other than that, didn’t change a thing.

Never mind, I found my answer in the other posts. The butter is the oil. Thank you!
Hi there. These are yummy with just butter. :) We’ve not tried them without the baking soda.
