These whole grain flaxseed waffles make for a delicious and healthy start to your day. If your mornings tend to be busy and on the go – we suggest making a large batch and freezing the extras to reheat later.

Smooth, whole-milled flaxseed stands in for part of the flour in this recipe. We love serving them topped with nut butter or this strawberry flax spread.

Whole Grain Flaxseed Waffles

Course Breakfast

Cuisine American

Servings 4

Ingredients

• ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour
• ¼ cup Manitoba Milling Co Smooth Whole Milled Flaxseed
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• ½ Tbsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp kosher sea salt
• 1 cup milk of choice
• ¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
• 1 egg separated

Instructions

• Preheat waffle iron.
• Mix dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a medium bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix milk, oil, and egg yolk and set aside. Whisk egg white in a small dish until light and frothy.
• Add wet ingredients to dry (keeping egg white separate) and mix until batter is smooth. Gently fold in egg white and stir until well combined.
• Grease waffle iron with oil or cooking spray. Add ½ cup batter per waffle, cooking until brown and crispy. Serve immediately.

Notes

• For this recipe we used an 8 ½ “ classic round waffle maker (not Belgian). If you’re using a different shape/size, cook time and the amount of batter used may vary.
• We recommend cooking the batter immediately instead of letting it rest as some waffle recipes will call for.
