Instructions
-
Preparation: Begin by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures that your waffles will cook evenly and develop a crispy texture.
-
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the beaten eggs (or flax meal egg replacer), yogurt, vanilla extract, and sunflower oil. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and able to coat the back of a spoon.
-
Cook Waffles: Pour a ladleful of batter into the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for about 5-7 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle maker. Serve warm, topped with a pat of butter, a generous drizzle of maple syrup, and your choice of fresh fruits or sliced apples. For an added treat, pair with a refreshing Banana Almond & Prunes Smoothie.
Enjoy these wholesome waffles as a nutritious breakfast option that not only fuels your day but also delights your taste buds! Perfect for kids’ snack boxes, they are versatile enough to be enjoyed any time of day.
