Directions

Place a flour sifter in a large mixing bowl, and place all your dry ingredients, except for the wheat germ, into the sifter and sift.

Add your wheat germ to the bowl and blend well with a whisk. (You could put your wheat germ in the sifter like I did, but you’ll find out quickly that it doesn’t sift well.)

In a separate bowl, mix all your wet ingredients.

Use a hand blender to blend everything into a smooth liquid.

Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients, and blend with a whisk. Don’t over mix, but do get out any clumps you see.

Pour a little in at a time.

Use a spatula to help it spread. (You don’t want to go too heavy, or you’ll end up with batter oozing out the sides. Less is more here).

Note:
If you like your waffles crispy, eat them hot and right off the waffle iron. If you like them softer or spongier, plan to let them sit out on the counter for a little while before eating them (an hour or two should do the trick). They soften with time.

Topping Ideas:
-Mix fruit sweetened yogurt with a non-fat cottage cheese and pour over your waffles (I did this, and MAN was it good!)
-Honey and a bit of Greek yogurt
-Honey and nuts (any nuts would work great on these)
