Buttermilk Blender Waffles (egg-free and whole wheat)

I’m forever indebted to my sister-in-law for sharing the idea with me that you can make waffle batter in the blender. They are so fast to make and their buttery, sourdough flavor is off the charts! My kids and I love them so much that I have added them to my running list of school-morning breakfast options.
My SIL shared her recipe with me on a morning when we were out of eggs, so I made due with ground flax seed and it worked! Knowing me, I wanted to see what else I could substitute to boost the nutrition content of these waffles. Thus, this is my recipe for blender waffles on those days when you are out of eggs.
