The first week of September is designated as Waffle Week! Enjoy healthy and delicious waffles by including:
- Fresh fruit on top such as blueberries and strawberries
- A whole grain waffle mix, or substituting whole wheat flour for half of the flour in your recipe.
- A limit on the number or size of waffles you eat.
If you’re preparing several foods that get “done” at different times, you can hold most hot foods for about 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven set to 200 to 250 degrees F. Place waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent sogginess.
Freeze leftover waffles for a quick breakfast by popping them in the toaster.
