Delicious Whole Wheat Waffles

These whole wheat waffles are a low-fat, nutritious, and delicious start to the day. They cost pennies to make, are quick and easy, and if you want even quicker future breakfasts you can make a huge batch and freeze them for a quick toaster/microwave reheat to grab anytime. My kids even like the leftovers as snacks with peanut butter or jam on them. If you like to mix it up, my oatmeal pancake recipe also makes great oatmeal waffles. This recipe has more of a traditional taste with all the whole grain and nutrients of whole wheat flour.

2 eggs (or 4 egg whites)
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1/4 cup applesauce (no sugar added)
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Variations are always fun, so add a tbsp. of cinnamon for cinnamon waffles, cinnamon and 1/2-1 tsp. of nutmeg for french toast waffles, or for apple cinnamon waffles replace one or both of the eggs with 1/4 cup more applesauce per egg and add the cinnamon. Serve with syrup, fruit and yogurt, jam, or strawberries/strawberry puree and a bit of whipped cream. So good!
