On many mornings I love to have fresh waffles for breakfast. So after seeing all the not so good for you ingredients in Krusteaz brand instant waffle and pancake mix several years ago I started making my own from scratch waffle batter. There have been a lot of experiments along the way between then and now...mostly good. The waffle I normally make now always consists of the same ingredients with the only variations being adding or deleting the banana and sometimes I use blueberries too. So if you own a waffle Iron and it sits waiting for you to bring it out of the cupboard...here is a reason to bring it out and waffle away!
Robert's Healthy & Yummy Waffles
This recipe quantity is for a round waffle iron, if you own something bigger, then adjust
ingredients in recipe accordingly
1 egg
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp oat bran
1 tbsp flaxseed meal
2 tbsp bluecorn meal
2 heaping tbsp whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp unflavored non fat yoghurt
1 ripe smashed banana
1/4 cup lowfat milk
Mix all ingredients in a 2 cup measuring cup
Batter should be on the thick side
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto hot waffle iron and spread out quickly
with the back of a spoon to fill about 90 percent of the cooking area
Close lid and follow your waffle irons directions
I usually let mine cook for about 6 to 7 minutes...I like waffles to have a crunch to them
Serve with real maple syrup
Here's to waffle mornings!
