We had these for dinner last night and no one could get enough. They are so scrumptious. And NO ONE could tell there was so much good stuff in there. They are quick, healthy, and yummy. Make them, freeze them, and pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast!
Whole Grain Waffles
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 3/4 cups skim milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup flax seed meal
- 1/4 cup wheat germ
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I used bread flour, because that is what I had on hand)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar (I used a squirt of agave, honey or maple syrup would be delicious, and then the waffles could be served with fruit on top instead of more sugar)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- a few dashes of cinnamon (I probably used a teaspoon)
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, applesauce, agave, and vanilla. Beat in whole wheat pastry flour, flax seed meal, wheat germ, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until batter is smooth.
- Preheat a waffle iron, and coat with cooking spray. Pour batter into waffle iron in batches, and cook until crisp and golden brown. In my waffle maker, each took about 2 1/2 minutes. I got about 8 waffles.
