Whole Wheat Waffles With Strawberry and Banana Syrup
(Makes 8 waffles)

2 cups whole-wheat flour
3 tablespoons natural sugar or sugar substitute
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 cup canola oil
1 1/2 cups milk

Preheat waffle maker. Place flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; stir and combine. Add canola oil, vanilla, eggs and milk.

Blend with a wire whisk until smooth.

Coat waffle grid with nonstick spray. Pour 1/2 cup batter onto the preheated waffle grid, close lid and latch.

Bake until signal indicates it’s done.

Place waffle in the center of the plate, spoon syrup around and then top with fresh berries and sliced banana.

Strawberry-Banana Syrup
(Makes 3/4-1 cup)

1/4 cup sugar or sugar substitute
1/4 cup water
8 strawberries
3 small to medium bananas

In a small saucepot, combine sugar or substitute and water. Bring to a boil, and then set aside.

Place strawberries and bananas in blender.

Pour sugar and water mixture on top and blend until smooth. Syrup can be stored for several days.

Note: I’ve not tried this yet, but it sure beats my dad’s version (“better living through modern chemistry”) that called for sugar, corn syrup, food coloring and artificial flavoring.
