Whole Wheat Waffles & Blueberry Yogurt Syrup

Perfect for Sunday morning. This recipe was ad-libbed enough from Epicurious that we’re not even going to reference you to the original recipe… it was really more a guideline.

As far as we know, the Blueberry Yogurt Syrup was totally made up! And totally good!

Waffle Ingredients:

1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1 cup oat flour
2 tablespoons ground flax
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
2 egg whites

Blueberry Syrup Ingredients:

1 container blueberries
Agave maple syrup
Greek yogurt
dash of vanilla

Preparation:

Mix all the waffle ingredients until smooth
Cook waffles as usual

Dump blueberries in Quisinart
Add chosen ratio of syrup and yogurt to produce desired consistency

Pulse until just mixed (over mixing will make it thinner)

Serve with eggs and coffee! Enjoy with your favorite person on a relaxing weekend morning!
