Whole Wheat Waffles

Whole Wheat Waffles

Today I borrowed my mom's waffle maker to try out some... waffles! I found a basic recipe online but I wanted to make them more healthful by using whole wheat flour and applesauce. It called for 6 tablespoons of oil so I did 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce. I also added in about a teaspoon of pumpkin spice for some seasonal flavor. Waffles can be enjoyed any time of the day so if you have a waffle maker and don't use it very much, dust it off and try this recipe out!
