Honey Whole Wheat Waffles


I am a lover of breakfast foods. Lately I have been experimenting with variations on the old standard baking mix waffles. I wanted waffles that were a tad bit more healthy and filling. This is what I came up with.

HONEY WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES
2 cups of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of baking mix (or regular flour)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 eggs
2 cups of milk
1/4 cup of honey
1/4 cup of melted butter
1/4 cup of vegetable oil

Mix all of the above ingredients. If the batter is too runny add some more wheat flour until the consistency is right. If it is too dry add some more milk. Pour onto a heated waffle iron that's been coated with a non-stick spray and cook. Pull waffle off of the waffle iron and top with what your heart desires.

optional ingredients:
chocolate chips- sprinkle on top of the batter that you place in the waffle iron or atop the waffle after it's cooked.
pecans- chop finely then place over the batter in the waffle iron to add a nutty flair.
strawberries (or any kind of fruit or berries)- slice and place atop the waffle, before serving, to add color and taste.
whipped cream- whether you make it from scratch or it's squeezed out of a can it's yummy.
syrup- pure maple is best but any kind of syrup will add pizazz to your morning.

Warning: When topping these delicious waffles and feeding them to your children you may get cute faces looking like this-
