Sunday means WAFFLES

What's for dinner is such a common place question on Sunday's in our house. So today was no exception. Since PaPa Benson bought breakfast sausages last week I figured waffles would be a good accompaniment. Found this recipe on line and was nicely surprised at how delicious these waffles were.

WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES

Ingredients

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 3/4 cups skim 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

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.

I had to use what flours I had in my pantry so I used a mixture of whole wheat graham and white whole wheat plus my applesauce while sugar free was peach flavored. I also used a bit more salt.

These waffles were light in texture, crispy on the outside, and delicious with butter and cinnamon sugar on top.
