Ingredients
1 1/4 cups milk
1 vanilla bean
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
Vegetable oil for greasing waffle maker
Directions
Pour milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until steaming, about 3–4 minutes. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a sharp knife and scrape the seeds into the warm milk with the back of the knife. Stir gently to distribute the vanilla seeds throughout. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the warm vanilla milk, vegetable oil, and honey until well combined.
Add the eggs to the bowl and whisk vigorously until fully incorporated.
Add the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined; small lumps are fine. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you preheat the waffle maker.
Preheat your waffle maker according to its manufacturer's instructions. Use a paper towel lightly soaked with vegetable oil to grease the waffle grids on both the top and bottom.
Pour the recommended amount of batter (typically 1/2 to 3/4 cup depending on your machine) into the center of the greased waffle maker. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy on the outside, following your machine's specific instructions—usually 3–5 minutes. The waffle is done when steam no longer escapes from the sides.
Transfer the finished waffle to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter, re-oiling the grids between each waffle. Serve hot with your choice of toppings.
