Waffles

After a rough day yesterday, I decided to make breakfast for dinner. This recipe makes six individual waffles in a standard waffle maker – I scaled it down to half. I also picked up some turkey sausage patties to eat on the side. Life looked a lot brighter after dinner!

2 eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I used all-purpose whole wheat)
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup wheat germ (I didn’t have any, so I just added extra flour)

4 teaspoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat a waffle iron and coat with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, applesauce, and vanilla.
