Whole Grain Waffles
Okay...this is actually a pancake recipe I altered and made my own. The original came from the classic 70's vegetarian cookbook called Laurel's Kitchen.
1/2 c. wheat germ
2 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 c. ground flax meal
2 t. baking powder
1 T. brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon (optional)
1 t. salt
2 large eggs
2 1/2 - 3 c. vanilla soy milk (I use Silk brand). Regular milk is fine, too.
2 T. canola oil
With a whisk in a medium bowl, stir together all dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs slightly and combine with the milk. Add the oil and beat to mix well, then add wet to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
This will make 6-8 6" round Belgian waffles. Most of the time we use real maple syrup on them, but applesauce is also great, and of course, seasonal berries. I've also added a ripe mashed banana to the batter with good results.
Hmmm...I'm hungry
