Whole Grain Waffle

My children decided to sleep late this morning, so of course...I couldn't sleep.  I turned on the tv, and $40 a day was on.  rachel ray ordered a Whole Grain Waffle, and it looked amazing.  So...Waffles for breakfast!

Below are two recpies...the one I made, and another that's a little more "whole grain."

Mine:

2 cups Heart Healthy Bisquick
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 tbsp vegeatble oil
1 egg

Combine ingredients and cook in Waffle maker.  top with fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries warmed for 1 minute, or your favorite syrup.  Makes about 4 waffles.  YUMMY!



This one is more detailed, but looks delicious.  It is from the Food network site.
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch fine salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup peanut or walnut oil
  • Maple syrup

Directions

Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
Whisk the flour with the oats, sugar, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, then add the milk, butter, and oil.
Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, to make a batter. Take care not to over work the batter, it's fine if there are a few lumps.
Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter per waffle (it depends on the size of your waffle iron) and cook until the outside of the waffle is crisp and inside is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. (The time varies depending on the size and spread of a waffle iron). Serve warm with maple syrup. Repeat with remaining batter.
