Image via Wikipedia
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I know that but I never eat a nutritious breakfast myself. Next week I will be on holidays and I intend to eat better once usually I don’t even have lunch. I know I should eat more, that I have some vitamin deficiencies and that reflects on my body metabolism.
Changing my eating style it’s a priority for me. Most people decide to go on diets or take diet pills like ephedra but in my case, I need extra calories to keep up being an healthy person. So, let’s start the day with some Healthy Multi-Grain Waffles.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2/3 cup whole-wheat flour
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ or cornmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
Mix buttermilk and oats in a medium bowl; let stand for 15 minutes.
Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat germ (or cornmeal), baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Stir eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla into the oat mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; mix with a rubber spatula just until moistened.
Coat a waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat. Spoon in enough batter to cover three-fourths of the surface (about 2/3 cup for an 8-by-8-inch waffle iron). Cook until waffles are crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
