Coconut Whole Wheat Waffles

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a recipe with whole wheat flour.  My last recipe with whole wheat flour were these peanut butter chocolate chip muffins. You must try those! 

As I mentioned in the muffin recipe, when working with whole wheat flour it is important to add more moisture than you would with all purpose flour.  The presence of the endosperm and bran in whole wheat flour causes it to absorb moisture more slowly. Which is why it is also helpful to let the dough or batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking or baking.

These coconut whole wheat waffles are a great way to start your day.  They’re packing 10g of protein and 5g of fiber. Try them and let me know what you think.
