Ingredients

2 large eggs2 cups Buttermilk, lowfat1/4 cup canned pumpkin1/4 cup butter1 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour (pastry or King Arthur white whole wheat)1/4 cup wheat germ1/2 cup flax seed meal1 Tbsp sugar (or maple syrup)1 tsp baking soda1/4 tsp saltCinnamon, ground, 1 tspa grating of fresh nutmegBaking Soda, 1 tsp

Directions

pre-heat oven to 200F.
Separate eggs and beat whites to soft peaks.
Melt butter and cool slightly, then mix together all wet ingredients (except egg whites).
Mix all dry ingredients together, making sure that there are no baking soda lumps! (yuk!)
Mix wet into dry, then gently fold in egg whites until just combined.
Prep your waffle iron, and start making waffles!
These will be a bit darker than normal waffles, so make sure you let them cook the whole way (takes a bit longer than a regular waffle).
Keep in the warm oven until ready for breakfast (leaving them in the oven also helps them crisp up a bit more!)

Serving Size: Makes 8 regular waffles or 6 Belgian waffles

Number of Servings: 8
