- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons sugar

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk

- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation
Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, flaxseed, and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Great waffle recipe, and so easy! We made one batch following the recipe exactly (except for the buckwheat flour; we just added extra whole-wheat flour instead), and they were delicious. We made a second batch with two bananas and liked those even more. We often freeze waffles to eat on weekday mornings, and these will replace the ones we used to make.01/31/10

I tried these when faced with an abundance of over-ripe bananas & was very happy with them. Like many others, I used 3/4 cup wheat flour instead of the buckwheat, but I also added 1/4 tsp nutmeg & some chopped pecans to the batter (my 4 year old requested mini chocolate chips next time). The recipe made 7 servings in my round waffle maker, so I'm freezing the remainder. Definitely putting this on the holiday breakfast menu when family comes to town!09/14/09
