A healthy take on blueberry waffles
Do you ever wish you could make waffles healthy without sacrificing the taste? I have a solution for you today.
It all lies in these Healthy Blueberry Buttermilk Waffles. I know, you probably thought “butter” could never be in the same sentence or title or even phrase as “healthy” – but buttermilk actually includes no butter!
So let’s recap all the healthy ingredients used to make these waffles. These waffles are made with Greek yogurt and coconut oil as a replacement for butter, agave as a substitute for unhealthy, refined sugars, and oat flour in place of regular bleached white flour. Add some protein powder for a boost of daily protein, and you have a healthy breakfast!
