My aunt Lynda asked me to share my waffle recipe, now that I’ve had time to try it out a bit I’m ready to share! This recipe is from Money Saving Mom and I like it quite well. It’s a whole wheat recipe and I recommend using a whole white wheat with it. I buy the King Arthur brand and find it to be a high quality wheat with a good taste. I like this flour because it still has the nutritional content of the darker whole wheat, but it’s lighter and has a finer consistency. I like this site talking about the difference between the dark whole wheat and the lighter version. Until recently I didn’t know the difference – Heavenly Homemakers.
Whole Wheat Waffles
- 1 3/4 C whole wheat (I double this recipe and use primarily whole wheat, but I do use some refined white flout as well)
- 2 Tbl sugar
- 1 Tbl baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 C milk (use 1/2 water and 1/2 milk)
- 1/2 C oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- A little cinnamon
- Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl, and the wet ingredients another. Mix the two together, stirring well.
- Add mixture to your waffle maker according to the directions. Mine takes about a 1/2 C per waffle and I cook it on high for about 10 minutes (or until the thing stops steaming).
- These freeze great, that’s why I make a double batch. I let them cool and then just put them into ziplock bags. In the morning I just pop them into the toaster, so good!
