Blueberry Whole Grain and Bran Waffles

Bobbiann's Note:

Nutritious waffles that are still light and yummy. This is a variation on a recipe that came with my waffle iron.

Serves: 5

Yield: 12.0 waffles

• 1 1/3 cups whole spelt flour or 1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, bran, baking powder and salt.
