whole grain blueberry waffles

Good waffles! Probably would also be good without the blueberries or with other berries such as raspberries. I used regular oatmeal (not "quick" cooking and it was fine). Will make again and increase the wholewheat flour a bit.

Delicious!

Make these for breakfast- To make the waffles even healthier, I used 2 tablespoons of applesauce instead of the oil, and omitted the egg. They still came out wonderful. Be sure to spray the waffle iron with a non-stick spray!

Very Good!

These waffles tasted fabulous, especially with the blueberries added; I think they would taste good plain as well! Very filling, great taste!

Whole Grain GOOD!

The waffles turned out very good. My husband is a bit picky when it comes to healthier versions of his favorite foods, but this one was definitely a winner. He also found them very filling, so filling in fact he said two were more than enough - my husband is not a 2-waffle man!
