Beet Berry Waffles
These gluten-free, cardamom and cinnamon-laced Beet Berry Waffles can be whipped up in the blender – and with a healthy dose of beets and berries, they are a perfect way to get your day started!
The dictionary defines “adore” as: “to love or admire very much,” “to like or desire very much,” “to worship or honor as a deity,” and/or “to regard with loving admiration and devotion” – and these all fittingly describe my feelings towards beets!
Yes, the humble, sometimes just plain gnarly, beetroot, holds a special place in my heart. And – as fate may have it, it just so happens to be good for my old ticker and other bits and pieces of me as well!
I understand that you might not entertain the same feelings towards beets as I do and for that I’m truly sorry.
But maybe if you happened to try these Beet Berry Waffles or moist and delicious Beet Chocolate Oatmeal Cake or Beet Soup, you might change your mind?!

Are you a messy cook? If not, please teach me your neat ways!
What foods would you say you “adore”?
I’m a big fan (and consumer) of Shout…with 4 kids I got through A LOT of it…it’s the only brand I buy! And a big fan if these waffles! So excited to try baking more with protein powder and these are a perfect way to start!
Thanks so much Serena! In these waffles protein powder worked wonderfully – and you wouldn’t have even thunk there was protein powder in these! 🙂
I happened to be a beet fan, Shashi! Love them in many different forms, even raw. However, I’ve never incorporated them in desserts (horribly guilty). I’ve been planning to make savory beet pancakes though, but know I’m thinking about a sweet version. Love the incorporation of cardamom too!
Ben, I have a feeling you are gonna break into beet sweet treats this summer in a big way and there’s gonna be all sorts of beet havoc happening in your kitchen – saw what i did there 😉
Thanks so much! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
This is absolutely beautiful, Shashi! I’m not beet-averse at all, in fact I think they work really well in sweet treats.
So, the question is… are you going to dive on into this with a fork, or cut it up into neat slices before eating it? 😉
YES!!!! Hi there fellow beet lover – Thanks so much Helen
Oh and to answer your question – i don’t think “neat slices” are in my vocabulary! Heck in fact I think forks might be overrated – we have 10 fingers after all 😉
I LOVE beets too! I haven’t tried any breakfast recipes with them yet, so I’ll have to give these waffles a shot 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting Kelli – I hope you enjoy these as much as we did! 🙂
Yes! Another beet dish! This looks gorgeous — love the food styling. And the recipe looks wonderful. Thanks!
Thanks so much John – I sure do appreciate the kind compliment – hope you and Mrs KR have a wonderful weekend!
OMG-these waffles look divine! And, I love that pretty pink waffle batter too. As a mom of a boy who play LOTS of baseball, I have had LOTS of experience removing stains from baseball pants 🙂
Prior to Shout – I should have come to you for stain tips eh?!
BTW – Thanks so much – that batter was as pretty as it was tasty! 🙂
Beets and berries sounds like a wonderful combination! And I love Shout, it is a great product. Every time I cook with beets, I mess up my clothes 🙂
Haha – Mira – I so know what you mean! Thanks so much!
I am definitely a messy cook but don’t like wearing an apron either. I will look for this stain remover! Gorgeous pancakes!
UGH – I cannot stand aprons either and they have a way of coming undone and then before you know it, am tripping over that darn apron! I make enough of a mess without tripping so you can imagine the scene when tripping is thrown into the mix eh?! 🙂
Thanks so much Chris!
Yesssss to being a messy cook! I’m actually kind of OCD about keeping my kitchen clean while I’m cooking, but the same definitely doesn’t apply to my person. I find food in my hair all.the.time, and I’m pretty sure I need to invest in an apron because of how much random stuff I get on me. Ahh well. That’s what showers are for 😀
Ok so, the list keeps growing – first you tell me about your shelf with unicorn snot, then you tell me about your freezer filled with those flourless brownies and now you tell me you manage to keep your kitchen clean through cooking? That’s it Amanda, I’m packing my bags and coming to spend the weekend with ya! 🙂
Shashi! This is nothing short of pure geniusness. (I made up that word…but genius by itself just wasn’t enough.) I have a hard time believing you are such a messy cook! Laura is a messy cook, too, and I think we still have spaghetti sauce on our ceiling from gosh knows what…don’t ask. Laura also loves beets…so I’m thinking it’s something with you beet lovers. Beet lovers are messy cooks. Yup, that’s it. 🙂 Just kidding…these waffles look incredible my friend!
Hahaha – wait – what’s that you are trying to say about us beet-lovers???
🙂
OH MY! If I didn’t know better I’d think Laura was my foodie/cooking doppelganger! You should have seen my kitchen this morning just from making jicama blueberry muffins – looked like a tornado struck it – at least the dogs helped clean up the jicama on the floor – am thinking if I invested in a small dog, it would help me clean the counters too?
Our waffle maker broke long ago and now all I know is I need a replacement pronto because I need your beet berry waffles in my life… Beets can be really messy and stain so badly that a little shout right away on those stains is a great idea.
Haha Thanks so much Bobbie! BTW – I’ve made pancakes with this same batter – only a little less milk so the batter isn’t so runny and its worked well too.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Dear Shashi, these waffles look beautiful! What a delicious treat especially on the weekends.
I have never used Shout believe it or not, but what a great product to have on hand! xo, Catherine
Thanks so much dear Catherine – it is indeed a wonderful product – the bombdiggity – no lie! 🙂
Wow. That t-shirt sure took a beeting! Get it? Beet-ing? Okay, I’m done. 🙂
These waffles are beyond. I saw them on IG and immediately wanted them. I’m guessing it’s gonna be a waffle night later!
Hahaha – love that, Mir!
My daughter sometimes takes beet puree and juice and stains her hands and uses it to make it look like a bad wound that she takes pictures of and sends to her friends and for the next 30 minutes all I hear is her hysterical laughter as she sees each incoming text – but now I don’t have to look at her tshirt and get hysterical anymore – thanks to shout! 🙂
I love all your beet recipes. These waffles look awesome!
Thanks so much Angie!
These beet waffles look amazing! I never thought to put berries and beets together. Yes I would need something handy for stain removal too 😉 !
Thanks so much Cindy – yup, beets and stains seem to go hand in hand! Hope you have a wonderful, stain-free weekend!
Beet berry waffles? I just LOVE all your beet dishes and these waffles are no exception, Shashi. And I want that miraculous product ‘SHOUT’ in my life! 🙂
Haha – thanks so much Anu!
