Healthy Ricotta Blueberry Waffles Recipe

This Healthy Ricotta Blueberry Waffles is really quick and easy recipe with a step-by-step photo guide. You don’t have to wait for a weekend morning to make this nutritious breakfast as it requires very little time!

These are a lighter variation to the classic waffles. For this recipe, I used a 50:50 ratio of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour to get more dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. I got very similar results as baking with all-purpose flour but slightly nutty flavor. You could also use whole wheat flour or wholegrain spelt flour if you prefer.

This waffle recipe includes light ricotta cheese for a little extra protein and richer flavor with less fats. As well I folded blueberries into the waffle batter, which are super high in nutrients and antioxidants. The combination of creamy ricotta, zesty lemon, and juicy blueberries makes the best waffles you can dream about!

With simple recipes like this, using beneficial ingredients, it becomes easy to follow your healthy eating habits and stay on track with your diet.

Waffle Toppings

Top the waffles with any toppings you love. I went with a dollop of whipped ricotta with plain Greek yogurt, some walnuts for crunch, fresh blueberries, and this Blueberry Sauce.

For sure, waffles are always perfect when you drizzle over maple syrup or honey. Fruit sauces, chocolate spreads like this healthy Chocolate Banana Spread, nut butter are fantastic with waffles! Adding Greek yogurt makes your breakfast a healthy-ish treat loaded with protein.
