[Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-waffles) is looking to revive the popularity of [frozen toaster waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toasted-waffle) with its new Whole Grain Waffles offering.

While frozen waffles are a dime a dozen, Trader Joe's new product is far from ordinary. To start, the grocery store brand works with a supplier in Belgium who uses hearty [whole wheat flours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/european-grains-seeds-bread) to create waffles that contain a whopping 30g of whole grains in every serving. The waffles also boast a slightly savory flavor profile,w which means they pair perfectly with everything from a pat of salted butter to syrup or fresh cut fruit.

But perhaps best of all, Trader Joe's new Whole Grain Waffles are quickly and easy to prepare. As the brand explains, these waffles "only a few minutes in the toaster or conventional oven before they’re captivatingly crisp on the outside, and delightfully warm and chewy on the inside."
