This simple, healthy whole wheat waffle recipe uses pantry staples and straightforward steps, making it an easy choice for everyday breakfasts. It’s a fairly traditional waffle batter with a few wholesome additions, so it’s family-friendly and not overly experimental. You won’t need to run out for special ingredients—everything is likely already in your kitchen.
I often double the batch and freeze the extras. My kids love having waffles in the morning, and keeping frozen waffles on hand makes busy mornings easier while staying budget-friendly and nutritious.
Reheating frozen waffles is quick — just warm and serve. My husband enjoys them too, and having a ready supply of a meal the whole family requests always feels like a win.
Please share a comment below if you try this recipe or if you freeze extras — I’d love to hear how it worked for you.

Description
This is a simple, healthy waffle recipe made with whole wheat flour and a few wholesome add-ins. It produces flavorful, hearty waffles that are filling and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 ¾ cup milk (unsweetened almond milk or other milk)
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 6 oz Greek yogurt (any flavor; plain works well)
- 1 ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Whisk or mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until combined and smooth.
- Preheat and lightly grease your waffle iron.
- Pour batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions until the waffles are golden and cooked through.
Notes
This recipe made six large waffles with my waffle iron. If you prefer smaller portions, you can make more waffles by using less batter per waffle. To freeze, cool completely, place waffles in a single layer on a sheet until firm, then transfer to a sealed bag or container. Reheat from frozen in a toaster or oven.
