whole wheat waffles

This is an easy and healthy version of the traditional waffle recipe using whole wheat flour and skim milk.

The recipe does call for 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted butter/margarine but will work with as little as four tablespoons of same. If you choose to reduce the amount of oil/fats in the recipe you might opt for adding some yogurt or mashed banana to add moisture to the recipe. Please note that a drier batter will require less cooking time while a batter with a lot of moisture will need more time on the waffle iron.

Organic ingredients are recommended where according to availability and cost.

Ingredients
1¾ c whole wheat flour
3 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

2 eggs
1¼ c milk
6 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter/margarine

Directions
Combine all dry ingredients in one bowl.

Combine all wet ingredients in another bowl (or, as I do, in a large measuring cup).

Add wet ingredients to dry and mix into batter. Cook on hot waffle iron.

We make extra batches at one time to have some for freezing. They’re perfect for quick breakfasts and are far healthier than store bought frozen waffles. Reheat either in the microwave or in a toaster, depending on whether you want them crispy or soft.
