I made this recipe for breakfast today and it was so yummy. Everyone enjoyed them and ate a lot. That is a really good thing since I experimented with changing the original recipe and made it a little healthier.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
2 Tbsp Ground Flaxseed
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp organic raw sugar (next time I’ll use 1 Tbsp to cut down on sugar)
2 Cups low-fat buttermilk
3 large eggs
3 Tbsp melted Organic Butter
Directions:
Plug in the waffle iron to preheat it.
Combine the flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir to blend, set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Stir in the melted butter. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir with wooden spoon until combined.
I do not use oil in the waffle iron. I use cooking spray and it worked great for me. Spray the waffle iron each time before you add the batter.
Pour about 1 cup of batter into the preheated and sprayed waffle iron. Cook until golden brown.
When you think of Onion rings you would normally think of a few things: Deep fried, fat and greasy. Well….I found a recipe of the fried version and made it healthier. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 large onion, cut into 1/4 inch slices (I used what we had and it was a very small onion)
I did not have dried bread crumbs already so I made my own. All I did was take 2 slices of whole wheat bread, took the crust off and baked it at 350 degrees for 4 minutes. Use your own judgment on how long to bake them. You want to make sure you can crumble the bread into small crumbs.
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt.
Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are coated; set aside.
Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until batter stops dripping. (I placed parchment paper under the rack to make it easier to clean up.) Put the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl and spread out. Place one ring at a time into the crumbs, flip and coat the ring. Tap the ring as you remove it from the bowl. The bread coating should cling well. Repeat with the remaining rings.
Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil. Place the rings on the pan side by side and drizzle olive oil over the rings.
Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes, flip the rings and bake for 5 more minutes. I then turned the oven up to 425 degrees and baked for another 5 minutes. Bake until desired crispiness.
They were so delicious! We will be making these more often 🙂
I know what some of you might be thinking…..gross! But hear me out. I am experimenting with different recipes to make our “normal” every day’s foods a little bit healthier. I came across a recipe and had to try it out. I altered it a bit and it came out amazing! I have to share my version of this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup almond milk (I used vanilla unsweetened 30 calorie Silk Almond Milk)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (Costco brand)
1 teaspoon salt (mortons)
Directions:
In a microwave safe bowl Combine water and almond milk and Microwave for 30 seconds until warm. Add yeast and honey. Let mixture sit until yeast is foamy.
Pour into mixing bowl
Add flours, oats, butter and salt. Using a dough hook, knead on medium speed about 6 minutes until dough is smooth, elastic and only slightly sticky. Keep dough in bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place about 1 hour until doubled. I check mine at about 30 minutes and it’s normally close to doubled.
When dough is doubled, punch down and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Press into an 9×9 inch square, tuck sides in (about 1 inch each side) and roll up into a log. Press seems together to seal the dough. Transfer to a lightly greased (Pam or butter) 9×5-inch loaf pan, seam side down. Cover with the same clean towel and let rise about 30 minutes until dough reaches the edges of the pan.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F (375 degrees F if loaf pan is dark or nonstick).
Bake 40-50 minutes.
You can rotate the pan halfway through but not required.
Bake until loaf is deep brown on top and bottom sizzles when you tap your wet finger on the bottom of pan. (FYI: That is how our family has always done it but be careful not to burn yourself. I have never burnt myself but if you haven’t done it before just remember to tap the bottom with a wet finger not hold your finger there.)
Let loaf sit for 5 minutes and then remove from loaf pan onto a cooling rack. I normally cut the bread and put butter on it soon after so I get to taste the freshest bread ever 🙂
Enjoy! I hope you like it as much as our family does!
