I aim for whole grains, a serving of fruit and vegetables and a good protein. And coffee. For additional protein and omega-3's & 6's you can add flax seeds to the batter. Top with fresh berries, nut butters, yogurt, etc.

Eat.

Love.

Whole Wheat Waffles

Ingredients:

1-1/4 cups whole wheat flour

1 tbsp baking powder

3 tbsp sugar

3/4 tsp sea salt

2-3 egg yolks, well beaten

2-3 egg whites, stiffly beaten

1 1/4 cups milk / soy milk

Sift together the first 4 ingredients (whole wheat flour through salt).

Combine and beat the egg yolks, milk and vegetable oil. Add this to the flour mixture, blend. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

I love freezing the leftovers and reheating in the toaster for time crunched mornings.
