Loved it...and amped it

Liked it. Ā Used Whole Wheat Flour instead, Stevia to replace sugar, olive oil to replace Canola...added vanilla protein powder and Acai Powder to amp up the benefits with just a bit more milk....will make again. Ā 

Delish

The waffles were delicious.Ā  I used strawberries and blueberries (b/c I didn't have enough blueberries on hand) and followed recipe for the fruit, but opted not to cook it and used about a tablespoon of pure maple syrup in place of the sugar, topped with whipping cream...yum!

Tasty!

Sometimes we like breakfast for dinner and tonight we tried these waffles.Ā  Really good - next time I'd double the blueberry topping.Ā  Served with some applewood-smoked bacon for a great meal!Ā  Will make again.
