Vegan Whole Wheat Blueberry Waffles 2

Although my usual go-to breakfast on a workday morning is a green smoothie and a slice of whole grain toast with peanut butter, I do like the idea of switching things up. Starting your day with a healthy breakfast is a great way to get in at least one of your daily servings of fruit, whole grains, and protein.

Some research studies have correlated eating breakfast with lower body weight (1) and even lower risk of heart disease in the Health Professionals Follow-Up study. (2) 

These waffles are a great addition to your breakfast routine. To increase the health benefits, I used whole wheat flour and added some wheat germ.

What is wheat germ?

Wheat germ is the nutrient packed part of wheat that helps it germinate and form into a plant. Unfortunately, it is often removed when wheat is processed into white flour which means all those nutrients are lost too.

The great thing about wheat germ is that it can easily be added to a variety of baked goods as well as smoothies, oats, cereal, yogurt, and more.  Just 2 tablespoons of wheat germ provides 4 grams of protein, 20% of your RDA for both vitamin E and folic acid, and at least 10% of your daily needs for vitamin A, zinc, and phosphorus. 

Vegan Whole Wheat Blueberry Waffles

These waffles are perfect for breakfast on the weekends. However, they can also be a great option for busy days during the week and when the new school year starts. They freeze well so you can easily make a double batch on the weekend and freeze the leftovers.

When you are ready to eat, just pop it into the toaster to reheat it. As I rush to get ready for work in the morning, I will eat these like toast with almond or peanut butter. (I highly suggest it!)

    Thank you for this recipe! I omitted the wheat germ and used 1 1/4 cup almond milk as above and they were perfect. So easy too! <3

    These pictures are amazing. Wow. I can’t stop drooling. What would happen if I left the wheat germ out? I’ve never used it before, so I don’t have it. And I really don’t think it’s something I’ll use.

      Thanks Shanna! Yes, you can also make these without the wheat germ. I would just decrease the almond milk to about 1 1/4 cups so that the batter isn’t too runny. Hope you like them! 🙂
