Whole-Grain Waffles

Whole-Grain Waffles

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

1 tbsp ground flaxseed

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/4 tsp salt

1 egg – separated

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup mashed banana

1 tbsp canola oil

Veg oil cooking spray

Heat Waffle iron. Have 3 bowls ready for preparing ingredients. In a blender, process oats until flour-like in texture. In bowl 1, combine dry ingredients. In bowl 2 beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. In bowl 3 mix the wet ingredients (including egg yoke but not the egg whites). Now combine the wet ingredients from bowl 3 with the dry ingredients from bowl 1. Add the egg whites from bowl 2, stirring gently until just combined. Coat waffle iron with Veg spray. Pour 1/3 cup of the batter onto the iron, and cook until waffle is crisp and golden in color (about 4 minutes). This should make about 3-4 waffles.  Enjoy!
