Waffle Recipe

I finally got a new waffle maker!  Our last waffle maker kicked the bucket  gave up after 15 years of use (may it rest in peace).  It got quite a bit of use over those fifteen years.  Lots and lots of waffles are consumed in this house.  And, not jut for breakfast!

My kids love having waffles for breakfast.  It's their number one choice when asked.  They are so easy to make and you can even make them "somewhat" healthy.  I make my waffles from scratch and have substituted flax eggs in place of the regular eggs and they still come out wonderfully.  I also use flax, fresh fruit and even peanut butter as toppings instead of syrup.

Any extra waffles?  Freeze them for another day.  My kids will pop them into the toaster oven and have waffles for breakfast.  Sometimes they come home and have one for a snack.  Having the frozen waffles is great for those days that you just don't have the extra time in the morning to make them.

It's the weekend, build in some extra time and whip up some waffles for the family.  They

Here's the recipe:

Waffles

2 eggs*
2 cups flour
1 3/4 cup milk*
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix ingredients together.  Do not over mix.
Pour small amount into waffle iron and wait until cooked.
Serve.


*You can substitute flax eggs.  To make one flax egg mix one Tablespoon ground flax with 3 Tablespoons of cold water.  Let sit for 10 minutes.  (please note that this recipe calls for two eggs so you will have to make two flax eggs)

**I use almond milk

***I also add cinnamon and some ground flax seed.  The ground flax seed gives it a nutty flavor.

Enjoy!
