I discovered these whole grain waffles on Allrecipes.com a few months ago and they have become my favorite breakfast. They contain whole wheat flour, flax seed meal and wheat germ. Lots of fiber and so delicious! The recipe was submitted by What a Dish, and she is truly to be congratulated. In my hands the full recipe results in 5 3/4 Belgian waffles. Each 1/4 piece contains about 100 calories. I will check and post the fiber content later. I divide the waffles into 1/4 size pieces and freeze them, resulting in 23 breakfasts. They come out wonderfully crisp from the toaster.In the picture shown here I have topped one piece with freshly stewed apples and a few toasted nuts. More often I use 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese and some fresh fruit. And the best is 4 teaspoons of peanut butter and 1/2 of a sliced banana.
I am also posting photos of some of the stages in cooking. The first image is the start on the waffle iron. The second is part of a finished waffle, and the final image shows the detail in a finished waffle If you click on the photo you will see an enlarged image. Lots of fiber!
Breakfast this morning consisted of the pictured waffle and stewed apples. A glass of skim milk and Vesuvio blend coffee from Batdorf and Bronson. My weight is still up 3 lbs from my maintenance break goal weight. The cinnamon stick in the photo was used in cooking the stewed apples. Thought it would make a nice decoration for the photo.
