Introduction
These are so filling that I only ever want one! (try it topped with a blueberry compote).Adapted from a healthy whole wheat waffle recipe I found somewhere on the web. I prefer buttermilk waffles, so out went the milk! I like butter, so out went the canola oil!
They could be made healthier, but I want my waffles to be crisp on the outside, and it's the fat makes that happen. If you don't care about a crispy waffle, consider replacing the whole eggs with just egg whites and the rest of the butter with more pumpkin puree. These are so filling that I only ever want one!

Ingredients
-
2 large eggs
2 cups Buttermilk, lowfat
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour (pastry or King Arthur white whole wheat)
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1 Tbsp sugar (or maple syrup)
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Cinnamon, ground, 1 tsp
a grating of fresh nutmeg
Baking Soda, 1 tsp
Tips
If using milk instead of buttermilk, replace the 1 tsp baking SODA with 4 tsp of baking POWDER.
If you don't have wheat germ, consider substituting with rolled oats (either whole for a bit of texture, or whizz them up to make a wheat germ consistency).
Nutrition info is for 8 waffles (if only making 6 Belgian waffles, they are 276 cals each)
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
