Our philosophy is if we can find a tasty healthier alternative for our favorite recipes, we go for it. And if we can't??
Then you better believe we are going to eat - and thoroughly enjoy - every crumb of buttery-calorie-filled goodness provided by the original. Case and point.
This recipe is of the healthy variety, but it doesn't skip out on any of the flavor or texture when compared to its white flour counterpart.
These mild banana flavored waffles are chocked full of 100% whole wheat but are still nice and fluffy. The key?? White whole wheat flour and whipped egg whites.Make these and I promise you won't miss the white flour one little bit.
