High Fiber Waffle Recipe

People are all the time asking me how they can get more bulk in their diet without spending money on over the counter fiber products

Well, you can have a great breakfast as well as high quality fiber simply by preparing...

Healthy High Fiber Waffles ala McKessock

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup wheat bran (I actually use 3/4-1 cup)
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 cups almond milk (see below)
1 large egg
2 Tbs maple syrup

Mix the ingredients together and let sit while the waffle iron heats up. If your waffle iron isn't non-stick, spray with a little Pam.

Cook the waffles and eat, but don't stray too far from the facilities!

Almond Milk

1/3 cup raw almonds.
2 cups spring or filtered water

Grind the almonds into a fine powder in a coffee grinder. Add almond flour and 2 cups spring water to your blender and blend for about a minute. You can strain through a cheese cloth if you want, but you can also use the almond milk without straining because doing so adds a nice nutty flavour to the waffles.

I got this recipe many, many moons ago from a guy named George McKessock. Thanks, George!

  1. Debbie, oh, adding the cashews sounds like a great idea. I'll try that one. Thanks!
