Healthy and Heavenly Waffles

Say good morning to a quick, heavenly, and healthy breakfast- WAFFLES! Seriously, the smell of waffles in the morning is the best alarm clock in the world and nothing warms up a chilly morning like a crisp fluffy waffle. These waffles are SO easy to prepare, coming together in about 30 minutes and requiring a minimal amount of equipment. Plus, they’re extremely customizable.

I’ve been enjoying mine in the morning with fruit on top and drizzled in little pure maple syrup. Sometimes I’ll add a few nuts on the side to make a fiber filled breakfast, and for a little holiday kick I’ll sprinkle some cinnamon in nutmeg into the batter.

These waffles freeze well, so they’re the perfect quick healthy breakfast option to grab, toast, eat and go. I also love that they’re special enough for a lazy weekend meal and simple enough for rushed weekday mornings. What more could you ask for from a waffle? Not much, I think. Enjoy!
