Whole Grain Waffles



These are great, easy waffles to make. I made a big batch and froze most of them so that I would have breakfast waffles during the week. Definitely better than eggo's with all those preservatives!

I topped them with sunflower seed butter and some mixed berry spread I got at the Union Square Farmers Market.

2 eggs, beaten
1 3/4 cups milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, applesauce and vanilla. Beat in whole wheat pastry flour, flax seed meal, wheat germ, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar 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.

  1. These are my fave waffles ever! Cool on using almond milk! I've been putting a dab of it in my AM lattes, and it's amazing how a tiny bit really gives a subtle almond flavor to them.
