In the Kitchen: Apple Cinnamon Wheat Waffles

Last weekend, Phil woke up and made everyone waffles from scratch! But they weren't just regular waffles, they were APPLE CINNAMON waffles made from wheat flour! Hip-hip-hooray for a man in the kitchen! The recipe made a lot - probably enough for 6 people or so. Since only 3 of us were eating them, we had leftovers for breakfast all week long. (And, I think they'd freeze pretty well too!)

Ingredients:

1 C all-purpose flour
1 C whole wheat flour
1 TBLS sugar
4 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 C melted butter
1/4 C oil
2 large eggs
1 3/4 C milk
1 C chopped apple
Lemon juice
2 tsp cinnamon

• Preheat your waffle iron and spray it with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 
• In a large bowl, whisk eggs together until foamy. Add melted butter, oil, and milk until combined. Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients. Mix well.
• In a separate bowl, sprinkle chopped apples with lemon juice. Toss in cinnamon, and stir to coat. 
• Pour batter into waffle iron and sprinkle with the apple-cinnamon mixture. Heat until cooked through.
• Repeat until all your batter is gone!

These were delicious! Addie loved them, too. You could even add some flax seed or oats to make them a tad healthier. Enjoy!
