Description
Whole Wheat Waffles with Raspberries and Chocolate Krispies is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or brunch option that combines the heartiness of whole wheat waffles with the freshness of raspberries and the crunch of chocolate Krispies.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 1/4 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted) or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup chocolate Krispies (or chocolate rice cereal)
- Maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffles and set them aside. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Place a warm waffle on a plate, top with fresh raspberries, sprinkle with chocolate Krispies, and drizzle with maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a different fruit, swap raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
- For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts on top.
- For a chocolatey twist, mix cocoa powder or mini chocolate chips into the batter.
- For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use non-dairy milk and vegan butter.
- To make the waffles crispier, cook them longer or keep them warm in a low oven.
