Super-Everything All Grain Waffles

We love breakfast - especially weekend breakfasts where waffles and pancakes rule. Sometimes we go "breakfast for dinner" and waffles show up there too.

We are trying out the SuperFoodsRx cookbook and there are no waffles, but this one is definitely in the spirit - 1/3 cup of batter servings, but since our waffle iron needs two 1/3 cup scoops to make one waffle, we think one serving is probably half a waffle PLUS 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/2 fruit to top it off. Booyah!
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup wheat bran
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/2 cup yogurt (low fat and plain)
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 cup low fat milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten (free-range and fresh, if you can get it)
  1. Sift together the flours and powders.
  2. Make a well and drop in the yogurt, applesauce, milk and eggs.
  3. Mix all together, do not go past the "just mixed" stage.
  4. My secret - let the batter sit for about 10 minutes as the waffle iron heats up. Waffles seem to get fluffier.
  5. Cook waffles as you normally would.
Top with whatever fruits you like - we thawed some strawberries from last summer, keep the thawed juices and put them on top of yogurt on the waffles. Yummy!
