Whole Wheat Blueberry Waffles

We have breakfast for dinner at our house every Sunday. It's nice, the kids love it and on a Sunday the last thing I want to worry about is a time consuming dinner. We are always trying different versions of pancakes and waffles. For this one, we looked over a few different waffle recipes and came up with this.

-3/4 teaspoons cinnamon
-1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
