I found this recipe on allrecipes. I was just looking for a regular waffle recipe, but this one had such high reviews that I thought I would try it. I changed a few things and doubled it. My family loved it and when lunch rolled around, we were still not hungry. I could only eat one waffle because they were so filling. I am thinking about making a bunch of these every week and freezing them for a quick and healthy breakfast during the week.
4 eggs, beaten
3 1/2 C milk
1/4 C oil*
3/4 C unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 C whole wheat flour
1 C flax seed meal or rolled oats
1/2 C wheat germ
1/2 C all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp+ 2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat waffle iron. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Whisk dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until batter is smooth. Spray waffle iron with cooking spray and pour in batter. Cook until crisp and golden brown. My waffle iron fits a cup of batter and this recipe makes 8 waffles.
We like to top it with sliced strawberries, grade B maple syrup, and fresh whipped cream.
*I use pure extra virgin coconut oil, but I'm sure canola would work just fine.
