This real food version of the Eggo waffle is sure to please your family on busy, weekday mornings. Top them with real maple syrup and butter and you've got yourself a winner! If you follow our blog at all, you know our families love them some breakfast. We’ve got so many pancakes, waffles, French Toast, egg, and oatmeal recipes on our Breakfast Recipe Index page. So why another waffle recipe when we have Double Chocolate Zucchini Waffles or Pumpkin Protein Waffles right at our fingertips? This real food version of the Eggo waffle is sure to please your family on busy, weekday mornings. Top them with real maple syrup and butter and you've got yourself a winner! As you know, I often like to sneak some sort of veggie or fruit into many of our baked goods. But one particular morning, I was looking for just a plain ole waffle recipe that still packed a whole grain punch–the homemade, healthier version of Eggo waffles, you know? This one (inspired by King Arthur Flour’s original one) did the job. If your family turns to store-bought frozen waffles for busy mornings, try making a big batch of these instead. Simply freeze them in a freezer bag once they’ve cooled. Toast them in the mornings and I think you’ll win your family over to this real food version. This real food version of the Eggo waffle is sure to please your family on busy, weekday mornings. Top them with real maple syrup and butter and you've got yourself a winner! I recommend topping your waffles with real butter (from grass-fed cows preferably) and real Grade B maple syrup (the healthier of the two maple syrups). A little goes a long way when you use the real stuff.

    I have regular whole wheat flour and AP flour, bread flour, and unbleached flour. Is there any combo of these that I could sub for the white ww flour? I have a hard time finding that in the store.

      You can sub any of those except the bread flour, I think. However, using the regular whole wheat flour may require more liquid. If it looks too thick, add a bit more milk.
