HEALTHY BELGIAN WAFFLES (WHOLE WHEAT, FLAX, CHIA)



Healthy Belgian Waffles (Whole Wheat, Flax, Chia) image

I used Leah Stacey's recipe for Light N Krispy Belgian Waffles as my inspiration. Just added a few ingredients to contribute to the "healthy" factor. My 9-year old is a HORRIBLE eater, but he loves eating these waffles and doesn't even know how many healthy ingredients I have managed to sneak in there!

WHOLE WHEAT AND FLAX WAFFLES



Whole Wheat and Flax Waffles image

The original recipe was made by my nana for years and years. Then my mom made it for me growing up, and now I make these waffles myself (but with a couple of healthy changes) They still taste just as good as the did when I was a kid. We serve them sometimes for breakfast, but in our family waffles have almost always been served for dinner. When you can't think of anything else to make.

Belgian waffles have larger squares and deeper pockets than American waffles. I make mine with nutrition boosters like whole wheat, flaxseed, cranberries and toasted walnuts. -Laura McDowell, Portland, Maine

BELLA'S WHOLE WHEAT BELGIAN WAFFLES



Bella's Whole Wheat Belgian Waffles image

A good friend gave me this recipe and it produces a waffle that is more substantial. It's not super light and fluffy like other recipes. They are more like "Eggo" waffles (in terms of texture, not sweetness). Makes 16 (4 1/2" X 4") waffles. When preparing them for freezing, I undercook them slightly, so they don't burn in the toaster.

Time 45m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  • Add milk, eggs and oil to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Use approximately 1/3 cup of batter per waffle.
  • Bake on waffle iron as per manufacturers instructions.
  • Note: My original posting of this recipe did not include salt. I didn't really miss having salt in this recipe, but I thought the first reviewer of this recipe probably had a point about blandness, so I amended the recipe to include 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Other comments have prompted me to add vanilla to the recipe, with wonderful results. Thanks for your comments!
