- VARIATIONS
- STRAWBERRY WAFFLES: Stir 1/4 c. strawberry all-fruit spread into the wet ingredients.
- Serve with Berry Sauce (see Pancake and Waffle Topping: Berry Sauce recipe).
- WHOLE-WHEAT WAFFLES: Replace 3/4 c. of the all-purpose flour with 3/4 c. whole-wheat flour.
- PECAN WAFFLES: Sprinkle 2 tsp.
- finely minced pecans over each waffle before closing the waffle iron to bake.
- NOTES : To keep waffles from going to your waist, we replaced half of the oil with applesauce and used fat-free egg substitute in place of whole Large eggs.
- * Wrap extra waffles in plastic or possibly place in freezer bags and freeze for later use.
- * For waffles and ice cream, sandwich your favorite low-fat ice cream or possibly frzn yogurt between 2 hot waffles.
- Wafflers are fun.
- Make your own ice "cream" sandwiches in the summer.
- I found a lowfat recipe for waffles.
- One of the toppings I really like - lately - is applesauce mixed with a mixed berry preserves.
- We like blueberry+raspberry.
- It's surprisingly crisp and good.
