Whole Grain Waffles

These waffles are done in the shape of Hello Kitty, but it is a nutritious and delicious recipe for any waffle maker! This is now the only waffle recipe I'll ever make!

I love to add cool whip topping and frozen fruit (unsweetened and microwaved until hot and syrup develops) So much better than maple syrup!
Recipe from MrBreakfast

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup quick or old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup flax seed meal (I omitted this and added an extra 1/4 of flour instead)
1/4 cup wheat germ
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs - beaten
1 and 3/4 cups milk
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flours, oats, flax meal, wheat germ, baking powder, sugar and salt). In a seperate bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, applesauce, oil and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Cook waffles in a lightly-greased preheated waffle iron according to manufacturers instructions.
