Ingredients
Waffles:
3 C Whole wheat flour (best when freshly ground)
1 T Baking Powder
3/4 T Salt
1/3 C Chopped Walnuts
1 1/2 C Milk
1 1/2 C Buttermilk
1/4 C Olive oil
3 Eggs
Homemade Syrup (better than store bought):
1 C Sugar
1/2 C Water
1/8 t Maple flavoring
1/8 t Vanilla flavoring
Preparation
Waffles: Separate the egg whites and beat until fluffy. Beat together all the remaining ingredients until smooth. Fold in the egg whites. Fill a waffle iron and bake until golden brown. Serve with unsweetened applesauce and homemade syrup (see below)
Homemade Syrup: Heat a small pot on high heat. Add sugar and heat until you see brown melted liquid or until a tiny bit of smoke appears (slightly burn the sugar). Immediately add the water. Stir in the maple and vanilla flavorings. Bring to a boil then simmer until all sugar pieces are dissolved. Store unused syrup in a container with a lid in the cupboard.
