WHOLESOME WHOLE-GRAIN WAFFLES

Wholesome Whole-Grain Waffles image

I created this recipe by tweaking one I already had. I added flax seed, substituted whole-wheat flour for some all-purpose, applesauce for some oil and fat-free milk for whole. My family loved the changes, and now it's a favorite. -Judy Parker, Moore, Oklahoma
