Made to recipe, Very good breakfast and great way to finish off some blueberries. Funny thing is, I found this last winter while looking for recipes to use up some leftover ricotta. Never made the waffles until today and now have to look for recipes to use up THIS leftover ricotta!

Liked it. Used Whole Wheat Flour instead, Stevia to replace sugar, olive oil to replace Canola...added vanilla protein powder and Acai Powder to amp up the benefits with just a bit more milk....will make again.

Sometimes we like breakfast for dinner and tonight we tried these waffles. Really good - next time I'd double the blueberry topping. Served with some applewood-smoked bacon for a great meal! Will make again.

The waffles were delicious. I used strawberries and blueberries (b/c I didn't have enough blueberries on hand) and followed recipe for the fruit, but opted not to cook it and used about a tablespoon of pure maple syrup in place of the sugar, topped with whipping cream...yum!
