Tried it on my ancient waffle iron. Had a bit of a sticking issue, but that's more the iron than the recipe. I left out the sugar and used whole wheat flour with flax seed oil. A bit bland, according to my husband, but I found it very tasty!

Really excellent waffles! Might be my new go-to recipe. They were nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I used all butter and no oil, and I used white whole wheat flour. Modifications: added 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp vanilla, per another reviewer's suggestions. I added finely chopped pecans on top before I baked them, which is what we usually do with waffles. When I make these again, I will experiment with substituting some oil for the butter (but not too much or they probably won't be as crispy) and reducing the sugar.

My kids DEVOURED these waffles. I should have doubled the recipe!! After reading through the other comments I made a few changes. I added 1/2 tsp baking soda. I also added a 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt and reduced the butter to 1/4 cup. Next time I will try substituting brown sugar for the white sugar. I will definitely be adding this recipe to my collection!

I thought this was one of my best WW waffles I have yet to make(and I am a waffle freak:). Being vegan, I simply substituted the egg, milk and butter, and skipped out on the sugar. I added cinnamon & nutmeg, and replaced 1/2 cup flour for quick cooking oats, and blueberries on the second waffle in. The slightly crunchy texture was quite satisfying. *** I even like to poke holes all over my waffles and let the syrup soak in for a couple minutes before I dig in! An old family secret I picked up from my dad, I am reluctant to give it up, but everyone should enjoy their waffles as much as I do! This is the deal breaker - Try it, I promise you cannot be let down! ***

The waffles taste so delicious. The taste is very similiar to regular waffles, but with a little more whole wheat flavor. The cooking takes a little longer than regular waffles by about 1-2 minutes.

AMAZING!!! This is my new favorite waffle recipe for sure. After my initial attempt, I tripled the recipe, using 1 part canola oil, 2 parts Olive Oil. I added 1 TBS of vanilla to my batter (the tripled one). I also separated my egg, folding in the white after everything else was mixed. Using 100% WWH gave these a crunchy outside and moist inside. They were made on a Cuisinart Waffle Iron.

These were DELICIOUS! I doubled the recipe and used the KAF white WW, and added ~ 2 T. of o.j. The kids, who can be rather fussy about their food, loved them! They were great topped with fresh blackberries...

Ooops, I meant to say in my previous review that I used buttermilk INSTEAD of milk for the waffles.
