Whole Wheat Waffles with Berries and Syrup

These waffles are a great way to start your day. They're made with whole wheat flour, so they're packed with fiber and nutrients. And they're seasoned with Old Bay, which gives them a slightly savory flavor. Top them with your favorite syrup and berries, and you've got a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

I first had these waffles at a bed and breakfast in Maryland. I was immediately hooked on their unique flavor. I asked the innkeeper for the recipe, and she was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making these waffles ever since, and they've become a favorite of mine and my family's.
