Wonderful Waffles!
Time for another FFC All-Star Recipe!! This one is for a healthed up version of waffles. Looks like a breakfast treat, but we tweaked the recipe to make it a great (healthy!) way to start the day. You can mix up the batter and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days- just be sure to mix well before pouring into the waffle iron because the ingredients will separate.
2 eggs (or ½ c. liquid egg substitute)
1 c. all purpose flour
1 c. White Whole Wheat Flour (my team prefers the Hodgson Mill brand)
1 c. All-Purpose Flour
1 ¾ c. skim milk
½ c, unsweetened applesauce
4t. Baking Powder
1 T. Sugar
½ t. salt
1 t. Vanilla
(makes 6 servings)
For topping:
Light whipped cream
Sliced strawberries
6 T. semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat waffle iron. With electric mixer, beat eggs until fluffy. Add in rest of ingredients until blended. Spray waffle iron with non stick spray. Pour batter onto iron.
Top with tons of strawberries, 1 T. chocolate chips and a small dallop of light whipped cream. Yummers!
A little extra note: If your team is a little hesitant to try the wheat flour mix it in in smaller amounts. You can up the proportions gradually as their tastebuds adjust. As long as the total flour is 2 cups, the recipe will be great!
