Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions.
Mix all ingredients except the raspberries and chocolate crispies together until fairly well combined.
2 cups whole wheat flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 cups milk, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon sugar, ½ teaspoon raspberry extract
Gently fold in the raspberries. I like to mix it until the mashed raspberry is just swirled throughout the batter.
1 cup frozen raspberries
When waffle iron is ready, pour the amount of batter recommended for your waffle maker. Before closing the waffle iron, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons chocolate crispy rice cereal over the batter surface.
½ cup chocolate crispy rice cereal
Cook until golden brown, then serve garnished with confectioner's sugar, extra crispies, and/or fresh raspberries (all optional).

To save time, you can prep ahead by mixing the dry ingredients and storing them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to cook the waffles, simply add the wet ingredients and raspberries.
If you don’t have whole wheat flour, you can substitute with regular flour, oat flour, or almond flour.
Swap the milk for almond, oat, or coconut milk.
For some extra protein, add a scoop of protein powder or swap ½ cup of the flour for almond meal.
This recipe also works well with blueberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries instead of raspberries.
For extra crunch, substitute chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or granola for the chocolate crispies.
Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter for a chocolate base.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
To freeze, cool the waffles completely, then layer them between parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Toast directly from the freezer or warm in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes.

Drizzle with honey, maple syrup, or melted dark chocolate.
Top with extra chocolate crispies, chopped nuts, fresh raspberries, banana slices, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
For more of a savory waffle experience, skip the sugar. Serve with scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage.
For more of a sweet waffle experience, serve with a scoop of vanilla yogurt or frozen yogurt and a dusting of cocoa powder.
