I substituted melted butter for the shortening and thought they tasted better.

Great recipe. Made a bunch to freeze and have for quick breakfast. Just set the waffle timer a little short of what you would like in the end. I love to toast them and add peanut butter for a high energy breakfast.

Just what I was looking for. Made tasty waffles. Not as crisp as the regular ones, but tasted just as good, if not better. Will make them again.

Really tasty! Very surprised because every time I try a new recipe I always mess up somehow or it just ends up being bland because its healthy. Also I folded in some frozen blueberries in the batter to make them blueberry waffles. Will definitely make again.

I replaced just 1/3 of the wheat flour with all-purpose flour so they'd have a little more lift. Great taste... not too wheaty and tasted great with warm syrup.

Great recipe. It didn't taste healthy, it just tasted good. Pure, real Vermont maple syrup is a must. Super tasty.

Turned out great. Thanks. Question about comment by Health Freak: How do you replace the egg with flax? Would like to try that.

These are awesome. I use Splenda as a sub for sugar. Today I tried Flax as a substitute for the eggs and it came out so good!

It's really all about the butter when it comes to waffles!

I replaced the shortening with half butter and half canola oil. Turned out very good. Whole wheat and shortening just don't go together in my book.

These were really fluffy and soft, especially for whole wheat. Great breakfast.

These were great... I served with a blueberry sauce on top, and used canola oil instead of shortening.

Great recipe for the health conscious. I used sunflower oil instead of shortening. Added 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon. 2 1/2 minutes in the waffle maker. Served with real maple syrup and fresh strawberries. Awesome.

I added vanilla and cinnamon (1 tsp each) and used canola oil instead of shortening, baking powder folded in last and these were perfect and delicious!

Great waffles. I too substituted shortening for equal parts applesauce, and olive oil. You can also add 1/4 banana per waffle to the batter, plus a handful of walnuts for some crunch. I triple the recipe and put the rest in the freezer. Healthier than store bought multi-grain waffles. Thanks!

Forgot, I also did raw honey instead of sugar. I also use certified raw whole milk. These are yummy!

Thank you for the healthy recipe, I just substituted shortening for Coconut oil as shortening isn't good for you. Yummy!

I've tried a few WW waffle recipes, and this is my favorite so far. My daughter and I added some cinnamon and vanilla to taste and they were very good.

This is the first whole wheat waffle recipe I've ever tried, and it'll probably be the last. The results were fantastic! I made a couple of minor changes to make them as healthy as possible.
1 - I used light olive oil instead of shortening. I may try melted butter next time.
2 - I ground the flour myself from red wheat berries.
3 - I used Real Salt brand salt to get the full range of trance minerals salt should contain.
4 - I used Florida Crystals brand sugar, which is unrefined and still light brown in color. Again, more nutrients than in refined white sugar.
5 - I get my eggs and milk straight from the farm. I know most people don't or can't do this. I'm just including it in case someone is wondering if they can do so as well.
By accident, I didn't separate the eggs and just beat them all at once. It didn't seem to affect the resulting waffles. They were light and fluffy. Perhaps I'll separate them next time, though, just to see if there's a difference.
Thank you Mr. Breakfast and baseball27!

Wonderful! I've never added the baking powder last folds like that... the results are mouth watering whole wheat waffles! Light and fluffy.

Great waffles... for low sodium diet, reduce the amount of salt. I used canola oil, 2 medium eggs and didn't have milk so I used evaporated milk and water (equal parts to make 1 cup.) Batter was perfect and not too thick. I will use this recipe again for the holidays. Thanks, Jan

I got up this morning looking for a waffle recipe and new I had wheat flour in the pantry so I gave this one a whirl. All in all I thought it was pretty good. I think you can use oil if you don't have shortening. I will make this again. I would also double it next time. It only made four big waffles. Thanks, Brenda

I was looking for a well-reviewed whole wheat waffle recipe and found this one. It turned out very well. I added a little more milk as the batter was a bit too heavy.

I didn't separate the eggs, and they turned out great anyway. I also used canola oil in place of the shortening and threw in a cup of blueberries. Terrific!

I made this recipe for my very picky children. I substituted canola oil for the melted shortening and we all loved the results. This makes a very fluffy waffle similar to those at the hotel breakfast bars (the make your own waffles). This will definitely be my new Sunday waffle recipe. I can't wait to try adding 1/2 cup of frozen berries. I'll be doubling this recipe next time.

I used this recipe on my first attempt to make waffles. This recipe was simple, easy to follow and the waffles were great, albeit a little fluffy. Are waffles normally very fluffy when they come off the waffle iron? In any case, this recipe will provide a good foundation for my future forays into waffle making.

Please modify the recipe to say: "Two large eggs, separated." Also, nowhere do you tell us to beat egg whites until stiff. I gathered the ingredients for my husband... then read the instructions after the fact! Results, according to my husband, "They are pretty good!"

Good recipe but makes a very thick batter, increase milk to 1 1/3 cup, replace sugar with 2 tablespoons apple sauce and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Use 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil instead of shortening.

A very forgiving recipe. We managed to mess up a lot and still got great waffles. The recipe withstood scrambling the eggs with hot melted butter, AND getting a bit of yolk into the whites so they wouldn't beat. The resulting waffles still came out light and fluffy (although they weren't as crisp as some other recipes we've used.)

We substituted grapeseed oil & splenda for the shortening and sugar - adding 1 t. each of cinnamon and sugar. The recipe made 4 large waffles in our Belgian waffle maker. Delicious!

These are very good waffles. As others I am trying to get away from white flour and less fat and add 2 TBS of apple sauce and 2 TBS of canola oil. I also mix them up the night before and refrig. for and easier morning.

A little more labour intesive than my old recipe but quick to make and very light and tasty. I used splenda instead of the sugar but used melted butter which gave a very golden brown colour and texture.

Great recipe - even my husband loved them! I, too, put in 2T of applesauce to cut the fat and added a tsp of vanilla. I''m trying to get away from white flour so this will definitely go into the recipe rotation. Great job!

I make a triple batch of these once a month and freeze them. They are wonderful. We eat them for breakfast and also make icecream sandwiches out of them. I love the whole grain, no preservative goodness!
