In an effort to get some breakfasts made up and in the freezer before we start school next week, I whipped up 3 batches of waffles last night. Five meals worth made it into the freezer and the rest were either devoured immediately (by ds1) or set aside for this morning's breakfast. The recipe I use is a really easy one that I got from a long-ago friend.
2 cups organic white whole wheat flour (or you can use a mixture of all-purpose and whole wheat)
2 T. Rapadura
1 T. aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
3 T. organic flaxseed meal + 9 T. water (or you can just use 3 eggs)
1 1/2 cups organic milk
1/4 cup organic butter, melted
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Cook in a preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. (For banana nut waffles, add 1/2 cup mashed bananas and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts to the batter.)
Of course now that I'm adding things to my freezer, we have Tropical Depression Four out in the Atlantic. Didn't I just say the other day that this very thing was why I was leary to be adding more to the freezer??? Oh well, such is life here (or at least since 2004 when we got hit twice in three weeks). |
