WHOLE WHEAT AND FLAX WAFFLES

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients.
• Mix wet ingredients separately.
• Mix dry and wet together whisk until smooth.
• Pour about 3/4 of a cup of batter at a time onto the waffle iron.
• You will begin to see steam coming out of the iron.
• Cook the waffles until the steam is almost gone.
• Any waffles we don't eat right away get put into the freezer, and we pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast or snack.

HEALTHY MULTIGRAIN CHIA WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions; spray the inside with cooking spray.
• Whisk almond milk, applesauce, egg, chia seeds, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; let sit until chia seeds start to thicken the mixture, about 2 minutes. Whisk flour, oats, flax seed meal, baking powder, sugar, and salt into almond milk mixture until batter is smooth.
• Scoop 1/2 cup batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes per waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.

WHOLE GRAIN WAFFLES

Steps:

• 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.

WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together until smooth & pour into hot waffle iron.
• I have made them in both a rectangle & round waffle maker, I prefer the rectangle shape because they are easier to reheat in the toaster. The protein powder adds an additional 13 calories per waffle.

BELLA'S WHOLE WHEAT BELGIAN WAFFLES

• Use approximately 1/3 cup of batter per waffle.
• Bake on waffle iron as per manufacturers instructions.
• Note: My original posting of this recipe did not include salt. I didn't really miss having salt in this recipe, but I thought the first reviewer of this recipe probably had a point about blandness, so I amended the recipe to include 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Other comments have prompted me to add vanilla to the recipe, with wonderful results. Thanks for your comments!
