Wholesome Whole-Grain Waffles
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 5 min./ batch
YIELD: 12 waffles.
I created this recipe by tweaking one I already had. I added flax seed, substituted whole-wheat flour for some all-purpose, applesauce for some oil and fat-free milk for whole. My family loved the changes, and now it's a favorite. —Judy Parker, Moore, Oklahoma
