Whole Grain Waffles
I LOVED this recipe! I have been trying to find healthier alternatives for the whole family to enjoy and this was great!!! I just made it this morning. I didn't have the flax or the wheatgerm so I used whole wheat flour and all purpose flour. Not sure if that's why it turned out so thick, but since it did I had to use a bit more milk increasing it to 1 1/4 cup. Also I used powdered milk instead as a way to cut down on fat and to save on the real milk in the fridge. It never seems to make a difference in the taste. Also, to make the batter a bit lighter and fluffier I separated the yolks and whites of the eggs. When mixing I added the yolks as stated in the first part of the mixing directions and set aside the whites until everything was mixed. Then beat the egg whites until they fluffed up and gently folded them into the batter. As a healthy alternative to syrup I topped mine with reduced fat margarine, a tablespoon of almond butter, a tablespoon of vanilla yogurt and sliced strawberry. Next time I will use the flax and wheat germ and instead of the tblsp of sugar will use a tblsp of honey as it is a bit healthier.
