    Excellent. I don't understand how you can substitute key ingredients, then criticize the recipe and give it 2 or 3 stars!

    If I let him, my preschooler would eat waffles for breakfast Every. Single. Day. So, was in search of something healthier than the freezer aisle and we can always count on Alton. I love that this recipe has whole wheat flour and minimal sugar. They puffed up nicely on the waffle iron. I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla based on other reviews that they are bland (I agree and I will increase that to 1 tsp next time I make them. They did lack for flavor but I guess that allows us to get creative. I had the same issue that many others did that they never did get crispy off the waffle iron - soft and chewy. (Other recipes don't have this problem. However, I made them to freeze and they did crisp up a bit in the toaster oven when I reheated them. I'd recommend that.

    This won't be my go to for brunches or indulgent weekend waffles, but for the everyday breakfast from the freezer, they're perfect.
