Whole Wheat and Flax Waffles image

The original recipe was made by my nana for years and years. Then my mom made it for me growing up, and now I make these waffles myself (but with a couple of healthy changes) They still taste just as good as the did when I was a kid. We serve them sometimes for breakfast, but in our family waffles have almost always been served for dinner. When you can't think of anything else to make.

Tips:

For the best texture, use a combination of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. This will give your waffles a slightly nutty flavor and a chewy texture.
To make sure your waffles are cooked evenly, use a waffle iron with adjustable heat settings. This will allow you to control the temperature of the waffle iron and prevent your waffles from burning.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your waffles tough.
Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will also help to make your waffles tender.
Serve your waffles with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
