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.

SERVES 16 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

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

Directions

1
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
2
Add milk, eggs and oil to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
3
Use approximately 1/3 cup of batter per waffle.
4
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!

I did not really like the outcome the first time I tried this recipe with 1/2 applesauce and 1/2 oil. The second time I used all applesauce, a tablespoon of oatmeal and wheat bran, and pumpkin pie spice and it improved greatly. They came out nice and crispy, just how I like them!

My husband substituted egg whites and one egg, honey for the sugar, and light olive oil, and they were still amazingly good! Thanks Bella!

These were great! They are so filling and taste great. I used apple sauce in place of the oil and skim milk and splenda. I also added a bit of vanilla and cinnamon - so tasty! They were easy to make and everyone loved them - can't wait to make them again! Thanks for posting!

This really is a great recipe! Very versatile and provides a nice hearty crisp, there is nothing wimpy about this waffle. Think another reviewer compared its consistency to that of an Eggo which is quite accurate. I've added a number of extras to this recipe...mashed banana, applesauce, flax seed, oatbran, you name it....it still tastes wonderful.
