Can you believe, after all my talk about how much I love breakfast foods, that I don’t even own a waffle maker? I keep borrowing my sisters old junky one {no offense Deb! ;)} and dreaming of owning one like this super cool Flip Side Belgain-Waffle Maker
or better yet this gorgeous Double Belgian-Waffle Maker {one day…sigh… :)}
No worries though, even if you have an old hand-me-down waffle maker, you can still make fluffy, sweet, delicious, and healthy whole wheat waffles. Better yet, you can make them in a few minutes by throwing all the ingredients into your blender!
Awesome.
Whole Wheat Blender Waffles
{makes 12 “junky-old-waffle-maker-sized” waffles}
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk*
1 cup + 1 tablespoon wheat berries or 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons whole or ground flaxseed
2 eggs
1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
Blend milk (*skim or soy would work fine too), wheat berries and whole flaxseeds on high for 4-5 minutes until batter is smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend on low for 1-2 minutes, or until incorporated. Let sit for 10 minutes, stir the batter to remix, and then cook in a hot waffle iron.

Can I sub anything for the wheat germ?
Nadia! I am so sorry, I must have missed this comment in the switch from blogger! You can just replace that wheat germ with more whole wheat flour and it will work just fine. 🙂
Do you use just a regular blender?
Yes Tamra, a regular blender will work just fine. I have a Blendtec now, but I made these in my regular blender for years. 🙂
Is there anything I can sub the coconut oil with? I am dying to make these!!
Melanie, I’ve never done it, but you could try substituting unsweetened apple sauce for the oil. I wonder if that would mess up the crispy outside of the waffle though? I bet butter would work, or maybe half apple sauce and half butter? Haha, obviously I’m not sure and I kinda love experimenting with things like that. 🙂 If you give it a try, let me know how it goes and I’ll do the same!
We love waffles for breakfast at our house!
