Healthy Blueberry Waffles
Whole wheat waffles are studded with blueberries and orange zest and drizzled with an orange maple syrup for a delicious breakfast!
Yield: 6 large waffles
Ingredients
For the waffles:
- 1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups lukewarm milk
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt (I use nonfat)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- zest of 1 orange
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
For the orange maple syrup:
- ½ pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
Instructions
- To make the waffles, preheat your waffle iron.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- Make a well in the center and add the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla and orange zest. Stir the wet ingredients together in the middle and then mix into the dry ingredients until combined. You may have a few lumps, which is fine. Be careful not to over mix.
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray. (See notes.)
- Cook according to the directions in your waffle maker. (Mine uses ½ cup of batter for each waffle and cooks it automatically on the “Classic” setting.)
- Meanwhile, to make the syrup, bring the maple syrup and orange juice to a boil in a small pot. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5-7 minutes. Serve warm. (I also recommend transferring it to a small pitcher or bowl so it doesn’t stick to the pot as it cools.)
Notes
I get 6 very large waffles using my waffle iron. You may have more if yours makes smaller waffles.
I have a non-stick waffle iron and when making regular plain waffles, I don’t need to spray it. I do with these, however, as the blueberries can stick a bit.
