Waffles have long been a beloved breakfast staple, but often, they’re associated with indulgence rather than health. However, with a few simple tweaks, you can transform this classic treat into a nutritious and delicious option that you can enjoy any time guilt-free.
Traditional waffles are typically made with refined flour and sugar, which can lead to energy crashes and spikes in blood sugar levels. By swapping out these ingredients for whole wheat flour and jaggery, you not only add a nutritional boost but also enhance the flavor profile of your waffles. So, the next time you’re craving something sweet and satisfying, skip the refined ingredients and opt for these wholesome whole wheat waffles with jaggery. Your taste buds and your body will thank you for it!
INGREDIENTS USED IN MAKING WAFFLES
WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR
Waffle lovers will adore these waffles because they are delicious and healthy. To make waffles a healthy breakfast alternative, I have substituted whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour in this recipe.
You can substitute all-purpose flour for the entire amount if you’d like.
CORNFLOUR
Corn flour is our secret ingredient for making the crispiest waffles. It guarantees that the waffles will be perfectly crisp and tender.
COCOA POWDER
We are using cocoa powder here for that chocolate flavor, we want in our waffles. Using a good quality unsweetened cocoa powder would be suggested. I use vanhouten or hershy’s cocoa powder generally.
BUTTER
We need some melted butter to grease the waffle iron and to give structure to our waffles. I use this brand.
MILK
As we are not using eggs in this recipe, our chocolate waffles need some kind of protein without the eggs. This gives perfect smooth texture and makes waffles really fluffy. I use Nestle milk for my recipes.

TIPS TO MAKE WAFFLES
PREHEAT YOUR WAFFLE IRON
Make sure your waffle iron is properly preheated before adding the batter. This ensures that your waffles cook evenly and have a nice golden-brown crust.
GREASE THE WAFFLE MAKER
Generously grease the waffle maker with either cooking spray or butter. Make sure to brush all the indents so that nothing sticks and the waffles lift off easily. Check this waffle recipe without waffle maker.
