Gingerbread Waffles

I found this recipe in recent Family Circle magazine and did a clean eating makeover version of them.  I usually double the recipe too, so that I can feed my family for 2 mornings with it!   

They were good, especially with the apple butter on top.  
Oh my!

2 cups whole wheat flour

3 tsp baking powder

2 tsp ground ginger

2 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp salt

3 eggs (or use 5 egg whites and 1 whole egg)

1 ¾ cup milk mixed with  2 tsp lemon juice (which will make it into buttermilk)

¼ cup oil
¼ cup honey

¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

½ cup molasses

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

In a medium size bowl, beat eggs.  Pour milk, applesauce, oil and honey into eggs; beat until well blended.

Heat waffle iron.  Make a well in flour mixture and stir in egg mixture and molasses; stir until well blended.

Cook in waffle iron until done.  Keep warm in on a baking sheet in oven or serve right away!  Top with apple butter or maple syrup and fruit!  YUM!
