Morning Breakfast: Whole-Wheat Waffles with Vanilla and Yogurt
Breakfast can be a challenge for any parent, especially when your kids are heading back to school. You want them to have a healthy breakfast that will last them until lunch. Waffles can be a great make ahead option considering they freeze well and you can make a large batch in preparation for the week ahead. Prior to freezing I break up the waffles to smaller triangles so they are toddler/kid size and ready to be defrosted. To defrost, place in microwave for a 2-3 minutes, depending on how many you are defrosting.
Here is a great tip to making waffles, mix the ingredients in a blender, it saves time and is less messy. I’m all about saving time, especially in the morning. These whole-wheat waffles are made with greek yogurt instead of oil, which I love. This cuts down on fat and provides a moist waffle. Add this recipe to your weekly meal prep list and/or weekend breakfast line up!
