HEALTHIER WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLE RECIPE

This delightfully light and fluffy whole wheat waffle recipe is quick and easy to make in your high powered blender!

We are big fans of cutting back or completely replacing bleached and enriched flour in our baking and mixing recipes!

It is often recommended to use half all purpose and half whole grain flours when trying to adapt unhealthy 100% bleached & enriched all purpose flour.

When we test recipes, we like to try this concept first, and make sure to use unbleached all purpose flour with another whole grain such as wheat.

WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR HEALTH BENEFITS

Whole wheat flour has many benefits.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition underscores the importance of choosing whole rather than refined wheat to maintain a healthy body weight.

In this Harvard Medical School / Brigham and Women’s Hospital study, which collected data on over 74,000 female nurses aged 38-63 years over a 12 year period, weight gain was inversely associated with the intake of high-fiber, whole-grain foods, such as whole wheat, but positively related to the intake of refined-grain foods, such as products made from refined wheat.

Not only did women who consumed more whole grains consistently weigh less than those who ate less of these fiber-rich foods, but those consuming the most dietary fiber from whole grains were 49% less likely to gain weight compared to those eating foods made from refined grains.
