  • Make sure to use toasted wheat germ for a nutty flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk for the buttermilk.

  • Substitute the canola oil with melted butter. The benefit of this substitution is that it adds a richer flavor to the waffles and helps to give them a crispier texture.
  • Substitute the wheat germ with ground flaxseed. The benefit of this substitution is that it increases the nutritional value of the waffles by adding Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. Additionally, it adds a nutty flavor to the waffles.

Chocolate Chip Waffles Add 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter before pouring it into the waffle iron. Cook until the batter stops steaming, about 6 minutes.



Fresh Fruit Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing:

This light and refreshing fruit salad is a perfect accompaniment to the Whole Wheat Cinnamon Waffles. The combination of sweet and tart flavors in the honey-lime dressing adds a zesty kick to the fruit, and the colors of the fruit make for a beautiful presentation. The honey-lime dressing is also a great way to add a bit of natural sweetness to the waffles.


Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan: Roasted asparagus is a delicious side dish that pairs perfectly with the Whole Wheat Cinnamon Waffles. The asparagus is roasted in olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese for a savory flavor. The roasted asparagus adds a nice crunch to the meal, and the Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the waffles.
