Whole Wheat Waffles

Here's a recipe that we've been enjoying. I got it from here.  It's really easy & freezes well.

Whole Wheat Waffles
1 3/4 c. whole wheat flour (I've been using white wheat)
2 tbs. sugar
1 tbs. baking powder

Sift dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl mix:
2 eggs
1 3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. oil or melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine & cook.

Whole Wheat Fruit Muffins (aka As You Wish Muffins)

Yields: 1 dozen muffins

1 3/4 c. white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg
3/4 c. fat-free milk
1/4 c. canola oil
1/4 c. apricot, peach, or raspberry spreadable fruit (we used strawberry jam)

1-Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line muffin cups with paper bake cups.

2-Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, & cinnamon in a medium bowl. Stir to mix. Mix the egg, milk & oil in another bowl.

3-Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir with spoon just until mixture is wet. Spoon 1 tbs. of the batter into each muffin cup. Spoon 1 tsp. of the spreadable fruit on top of the batter in each cup. Spoon the remaining batter over the spreadable fruit.

4-Put the muffin pan in the over. Bake for 12-18 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are lightly browned. Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

No-Bake cookies with a twist

So for FHE refreshments Monday night I made No-Bake Cookies with some white wheat flour added. Didn't hear any complaints & they did turn out pretty good. I used the following recipe:

In a saucepan combine & bring to a boil:

1 3/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. milk + 2-3 tbs.
1/2 c. butter (I used a veg. spread b/c that's all I had & it turned out ok)
4 tbs. unsweetened cocoa
1/8 to 1/4 c. white wheat flour

Boil for 1 1/2 min.

In a bowl combine:
1/2 c. crunchy or plain peanut butter
3 c. quick cooking oats
1 tsp. vanilla extract

I didn't drop it as cookies (I didn't have any wax paper) I just spread it in a 9x13 inch pan & let it harden.
