Whole Wheat Waffles

This is a good, healthy recipe for someone who doesn't have a lot of time to eat in the morning and it's also a good breakfast for babies and toddlers, which is what I make them for.  The boys can feed it to themselves so that's helpful to me.  : )  Every couple of weeks I make 2 batches full, freeze them and warm them up in the toaster when ready to eat. 

Whisk together 1 1/2 c of whole wheat flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 2 Tbls. sugar.  In another bowl whisk together 1 egg, 1 1/2 c. lukewarm milk, 1/3 c. melted butter, 1 tsp. vanilla extract.  Then whisk the wet and dry ingredients together.  Add any fruit that you like if you want.  I added blueberries the last time I made them and they turned out great.  Note: batter will be running but that's okay.  Cook in the waffle iron for about 6 minutes.  I serve them to the boys just plain; no butter or syrup and they enjoy them that way, but I'm sure most people would want to add those items.  Give them a try!
