Good for You Strawberry Waffles

"These are so good, no one will ever know how healthy they are. I don't tell anyone! I had extra strawberries and wanted to make waffles with them, but couldn't find a recipe version that I liked, so I tweaked a few and came up with this one. This makes 3 double waffles, which is 3 servings in my house."

directions

  • Combine flours, flax seed, Splenda, baking powder and salt into a medium-sized bowl with a whisk. Form a well in the center in preparation of wet ingredients.
  • Into a blender, place strawberries, milk, applesauce (or yogurt), vanilla and egg and puree until smooth.
  • Add the wet strawberry mixture to the dry flour mixture and whisk just until all is moistened. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup batter onto preheated waffle iron that's been coated with cooking spray. Cook until done and crispy.
  • Serve hot with toppings of your choice: we like sugar-free syrup, Cool Whip Free and extra sliced strawberries.

  1. These were awesome! My kids all wanted seconds.
     
  2. Great recipe! I will use often! I ended up using blackberries for strawberries and only 1 tsp sugar, and they were a crazy purple! Fun to eat, and not only that, very good. They were crispy and tasted of berries, especially when i hit the berry chunks (I didnt blend all the way so there were yummy pieces of blackberry i could munch through!) Not only were these hearty, they were healthy. I will definetly make these again... And i will definetly exparament with more berries! UPDATE: Made again with frozen raspberries with even better results. I did my wet ingrediants in my smoothie maker the night before, covered the cup, and refridgerated it overnight. I mixed the drys the night before too, and whisked the wets and drys together the next morning. NOTE that the whisk makes the waffles lighter. I'm going to next time try with some cornmeal in place of some white flour.
     
  3. These were really good, and my baby and preschooler gobbled them up (with honey, of course). I used sugar and not sugar substitute, which ended up being fine.

I am... ~a mother of 2 kids (19 and 22) who are extremely picky eaters. The mere mention of "healthy" sends them running in the opposite direction. They prefer the creamy, cheesy, fried stuff that they weren't brought up on! ~a wife of a wonderful man who fights an expanding waistline and will lovingly eat most anything I set before him. Everything is 5 stars to him. :) He's the easiest customer a cook could ask for! ~a teacher who tends to reach for comfort foods to relieve stress. I am a middle school reading specialist. The miracles I see on a daily basis keeps me going! But it's also stressful, so keep me away from the cookie jar! I really have to fight off the sugary, fat-laden stuff that has no worth beyond the momentary comfort in my mouth. ~and I'm also a daughter who was brought up on home cooked meals back when calories meant nothing and taste was everything! That is an idea built into my system that's hard to shake! My mother raised 8 kids (I'm #7) on her home-cooking and I always teased her that she didn't raise a single skinny kid! I luckily inherited her great love of cooking and baking. (I miss you Mom!) ~finally, I'm "mom" to the best Bichon in the world. He is Quincy, our kid in a dogsuit. He's 13 years old, but still a puppy to us. <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/264017/Quincy%20run%20small.jpg> Below are photos I've taken of some of my favorite recipes found on Recipezaar: <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w265.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/duchick/5b275464.pbw" height="300" width="400"><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/duchick/?action=view¤t=5b275464.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a> <style>body{background:url("http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/duchick/lakehouse_cupcake.jpg?v=0");background-repeat:repeat;}</style>
