Easy Gourmet Banana Nut Waffles shown above.

Blender Wheat Waffles (3-4 servings)

1 Cup Milk (3 T. Powdered Milk and 1 C. Water)
1 Cup + 1 Tbs Wheat Kernels, whole & uncooked

2 Eggs (2 T. Powdered Eggs and 1/4 C. Water)
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/4 Cup Oil
2 Tbs. Sugar

Put milk and wheat kernels in blender.
Blend on highest speed for 4 or 5 minutes or until batter is smooth.
Add eggs, oil, baking powder, salt and honey or sugar to above batter.
Blend on low.
Pour batter into hot prepared waffle iron from the actual blender jar (only one thing to wash!)
Cook: They will take slightly longer to cook than regular waffles–keep checking.

Variation:

Easy Gourmet Banana Nut Waffles (I can not express how delicious this is!!!)
Great for a special occasion Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or for a brunch.
Increase wheat to 1 Cup + 2 Tbs (that is an extra 1 Tbs of wheat added to above recipe)
Blend two ripe bananas into batter before pouring into the waffle iron.
Sprinkle chopped walnuts (if desired) over top of batter before closing the waffle iron.
Prepare and Cook as directed above
Serve with Hot Homemade Caramel Sauce below

(This is the easiest and most delicious Caramel Sauce I’ve ever eaten!)
Hot Homemade Caramel Sauce
makes enough sauce for 2 recipes of waffles–good on many deserts too!

1/2 Cup buttermilk or 1/2 Cup milk with 1/2 tsp. vinegar or lemon juice
2 Cups Sugar
1/2 Cup Butter
2 Tbs. Corn Syrup (not essential but it will help your syrup keep longer with out going grainey)
2 t. baking soda
1 tsp. Vanilla (do not add until after removing from heat)

Mix ingredients in a pot and boil for 3 minutes, the sauce will turn to the carmel color towards the end of boiling. (Essential Tip: mix in a pot one size larger than you think you will need. The syrup will be frothy in the beginning and it is awful cleaning up a burnt sugarey mess on your stove…trust me!)

Stir in vanilla when syrup is finished cooking.

Special thanks to Aubrey for telling me about the wheat waffles and Toni for the gourmet variation! It is SOOOOO delicious!
