Yum!  We attended a wedding last night and didn’t get home until late so I knew that this morning called for a very special breakfast:  whole wheat flax waffles… I don’t think there is anything more comforting on a Sunday morning.  These waffles are super easy to make and the results are scrumptious…

WW Flax Waffles

• 1.75 C whole wheat flour
• 1/4 C ground flax seed
• 1 T baking powder
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 2 T ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp salt
• Garnish:  Sliced Fruit (berries + bananas), Almond Butter, Maple Syrup

Mix dry ingredients.  Mix wet ingredients.  Stir with a whisk until well combined.  Spray a warm waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.  Pour mixture on to the hot waffle iron.  Follow your waffle iron’s instructions, as appropriate.  I use the Oster Flip Belgian Waffle Maker.  We received it as a shower gift and I love it because you can flip it half way through so it cooks evenly.  When waffles are done, top with sliced strawberries and bananas, add a blob of almond butter and a drizzle of real maple syrup and your Sunday morning is complete!
