Whole Wheat Waffles

There are no shortage of waffle recipes out there. I've tried too many of them. Some require that you beat the batter with a hand mixer. Some insist on beating egg whites into stiff peaks and then folding them into the batter. Others demand fancy ingredients like buttermilk powder.

These are simple. They require two bowls, a spoon and a waffle iron. Just mix by hand and before you know it, you have just enough batter for waffles for two for brunch on a Sunday morning, like we had this weekend.

It was our anniversary this weekend - 3 years! And while I hadn't planned to make brunch, these came together so quickly that I don't think NAK even noticed that I almost pulled out the cereal box from the pantry. But I made these instead. Make them - for your spouse, roommate, significant other....just like me, you'll be glad you did.
