Whole-Wheat Waffles

SERVES: 4 - 5

 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large eggs
• 1 ¾ cups milk (I have used everything from skim milk to thick buttermilk…so whatever you have on hand should work)
• ¼ cup oil (I used melted butter)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour (I used King Arthur’s organic white whole-wheat flour)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ⅛ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your waffle iron.
2. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, honey, cinnamon, and baking soda until well combined.
3. Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk together just until the large lumps disappear.
4. When the waffle iron is hot, dab it with a little butter and then ladle some batter onto the center of the iron. Follow the instructions that came with your waffle maker to know how long it should be cooked (mine takes about 3 - 4 minutes each).
5. Keep waffles warm until you finish cooking all of them. Top with pure maple syrup and fruit. Enjoy!

Berry Syrup: 

Ingredients

• 1 cup blueberries, washed
• 1 Cup Strawberries, washed
• ½ cup sugar (I used sucanat)
• 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons water, divided
• 1 Tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. Combine 2 Tablespoons water and cornstarch in a small dish and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring water, sucanat (or sugar) and berrys to a boil. Stir occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add water+cornstarch mixture and blend well. The sauce will thicken, the berrys will have busted open and it begins to smell like pie.
3. Store in refrigerator up to 30days. Take out a few minutes before serving at room temperature or warm.

Super yummy!

I dont know what to call this but my sister told me about it.

Soo perfect for running out the door. Not even too bad for eating in the car, even a baby ;)


Warm you frying pan. Spray with non-stick spray. Crack one egg into pan and then break the yolk with a fork. Drop a tortilla on to and circle around in pan with a fork or your hand. SO that the whole side of tortilla is covered in egg. Then stop and wait for a few seconds while the egg finishes cooking. THen flip over and let the other side of tortilla crisp up.

Thats it. You can roll up and eat plain (For on the go) or dip into sauces such and ketchup, salsa, or even syrup. My kids all enjoyed it.
