Whole Wheat Waffles (with a jam-filled heart)

This makes a pretty quick but impressive breakfast, and you probably already have the ingredients on hand! 


Whole Wheat Waffles


  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups milk (any kind)
  • 1 tablespoon oil 
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour 
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • fresh fruit, warm maple syrup, or jam for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, honey, cinnamon, and baking soda until well combined.
  3. Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk together just until the large lumps disappear.
  4. When the waffle iron is hot, 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).
  5. Keep waffles warm until you finish cooking all of them. Top with pure maple syrup and fruit. Or, for an extra loving touch, cut a heart-shaped whole with a sharp knife out of one waffle, stack it on another whole waffle, and fill the heart with red jam, strawberries, or your choice of fruit. I cut a heart out of paper first, and used it as a stencil to get it just right.
