Waffles with Two-Berry Syrup
Randy Mayor
Wheat germ and flaxseed are the ingredients that give these waffles a wonderfully nutty flavor and crunchy texture. But it's the syrup, laced with maple and two kinds of berries, that elevates this breakfast to the sublime.
How to Make It
Step 1
To prepare waffles, place flaxseed in a clean coffee grinder or blender; process until ground to measure 1/4 cup flaxseed meal. Set the flaxseed meal aside. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine the flaxseed meal, flours, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Combine milk, egg substitute, oil, and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
Step 2
Coat a waffle iron with cooking spray; preheat. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter per 4-inch waffle onto the hot waffle iron, spreading batter to edges. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until steaming stops; repeat procedure with remaining batter.
Step 3
To prepare syrup, combine berries, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thoroughly heated. Serve warm over waffles.
Step 4
Note: Look for flaxseed, a grain rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fats, in health-food stores of large supermarkets. Freeze leftover waffles individually on a cookie sheet and then transfer to a zip-top freezer bag for storage. To reheat, place frozen waffles in toaster.

First waffles I ever made. I was a bit worried first about the wheat germ and flaxseed, but the result was nice. The flaxseed had a bit of unusual taste in the waffles, but I would keep it and make it again. I have eaten better waffles, but they were not on the healthy side. I think I will stick to this recipe.

Hands down, the most fabulous waffles I have ever had. They smell divine while cooking and taste just as good.

I thought these were pretty yummy. I added blueberries to one batch and walnuts to another. My kids gobbled them up.
