Ingredients
For the Waffles:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or a 50/50 mix with all-purpose)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, no need to thaw)
For the Maple Yogurt Topping:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (to taste)
- Additional blueberries for topping
Preparation Tips
- Let the batter sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to plump slightly—it’ll thicken and help bind the batter.
- Fold the blueberries in gently to avoid streaking the batter purple (unless you’re going for that swirled look).
- Add lemon zest to the batter for an extra bright flavor boost.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and chia seeds.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine & Fold
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—don’t overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. Let the batter rest for about 5–10 minutes.
Step 4: Cook the Waffles
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease if needed.
- Pour the batter into the waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 3–5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 5: Make the Maple Yogurt
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with maple syrup until smooth and lightly sweetened.
To Serve
- Top each waffle with a generous spoonful of maple yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh blueberries, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup, if you like.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a green smoothie or cup of tea for a balanced breakfast.
- Make them mini for a fun brunch board with toppings and spreads.
- Add a handful of toasted nuts or granola on top for extra crunch.
Make-Ahead & Storage
- Fridge: Store cooked waffles in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: Freeze individually on a tray, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in a toaster or oven to bring back the crispiness.
