Whole Recipe ⟶ Whole Grain Waffles

I love experimenting with recipes, and I came up with this one after a lot of experimenting with my favorite waffle recipe. These are more filling than your average waffles. I use aluminum-free baking powder. These are wonderful with homemade blueberry syrup.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 ¾ cups skim milk
• ¼ cup canola oil
• ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• ½ cup flax seed meal
• ¼ cup wheat germ
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions

1. 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.
2. Preheat a waffle iron, and coat with cooking spray. Pour batter into waffle iron in batches, and cook until crisp and golden brown.
