At first these tasty waffles were sticking to my waffle maker even though it is nonstick and I was spraying with olive oil. About halfway through, the problem resolved itself. These were very good and I like the nutrition in them. I used all whole wheat flour and skim milk in place of the buttermilk. I also used applesauce in place of the melted butter to bring down the fat and calorie count. My children ate them up and for that reason I will be making them again! Next time I think some mashed banana or some apple and cinnamon would be great additions. Thanks for the recipe!

Wow!! These are some of the best waffles/pancakes I've ever eaten! They have a great, slightly sweet, whole grain flavor; and a really nice texture! I scaled the servings down to 3; and used light olive oil for the butter, and whole wheat pastry flour for the all-purpose and whole wheat flours--and that worked out fine. Also, the only waffle iron I have is a cast iron camping waffle iron (and it's quite a challenge to use), so I made some of the batter into waffles, and some into pancakes. Either way was totally delicious!! I've put a copy of this recipe in my best-of-the-best cookbook--and I look forward to making it again! Thanks so much for sharing it, AmyZoe!!

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
