One of my favorite ways to make my home a haven is by making special food for my family.
I really love feeding them nutritious food that is pretty and scrumptious! It’s one of the ways I get to tell my husband and my boys that I love them!
This morning I made the whole wheat waffles that I usually make…but I made a special blueberry syrup..and whipped some cream!! YUM!
Here are my recipes!
Whole Wheat Waffles
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. sea salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 3/4 cup buttermilk
Whisk all ingredients together…and cook in your waffle iron. I usually double this recipe and freeze the leftovers to be popped into the toaster another day!
I also usually soak my flour in the buttermilk overnight, and then add the remaining ingredients right before I’m ready to cook the waffles, but you don’t have to. (This breaks down the grain and makes it more easily digested!)
Blueberry Syrup
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup rapadura (dehydrated cane sugar juice)
Stir together in a saucepan over medium heat for about 10 minutes until blueberries become a little mushy and syrupy!
Whipped Cream
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
drop of vanilla
2 drops of stevia
Whip cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add vanilla and stevia and whip just a bit more.
Serve Blueberry syrup and whipped cream over waffles. Delicious!
I’ll be sharing more yummy, healthy breakfast recipes and ideas in the next several days! Be sure to come back for more!

That looks delicious!
Have you tried culturing your own buttermilk? I posted on a few weeks back. It makes a huge difference.

We like to do waffle sandwiches. We take the whole wheat waffles and spread peanut butter, thinly sliced apples and a bit of honey. YUMMY!

Couple questions:
1) Can you use vegetable oil/canola oil in place of the coconut oil?
2) If I were to soak the flour overnight, could I soak it in regular milk soured with vinegar? Would that accomplish the same goal? And would that affect the taste?
