Homemade Waffles!

            This is my recipe for waffles.  I started with a Betty Crocker recipe and tweaked it in order to make a healthier waffle that is still tasty!  I like to freeze the leftovers and pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast or for dessert toast then add ice cream.  Freeze them on a cookie sheet then store them in a plastic bag.

Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cups unsweetened soy or cocoa   nut milk (if sweetened, skip sugar)
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 cup applesauce, pumpkin or jelly (I like  Crofter's strawberry)
1 Tbsp. pure cane sugar *optional (or desired sweetener)
3 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt *optional
cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice *optional

Directions:
1. Heat and spray waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add the 1/2 the flour and 1/2 the milk, the the rest of the flour and milk so that it mixes easily.
3. Add the remaining ingredients.
4. Add mix to waffle iron about 1 cup per waffle, cooking for 5-6 minutes each.
5. Add desired toppings and enjoy!

Today I topped my waffle with sliced banana and maple syrup.  My favorite topping is strawberries.  Cut up strawberries and place them in a pan on medium heat adding sugar. Cook the strawberries and sugar until they become soft and juicy (10 min.). Pour over waffles, this also goes very well with a waffle quarter and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

All mixed up and ready to go!
