Oster CKSTWFBF21 1-1/2-Inch Thick Belgian Flip Waffle Maker, Brushed Stainless Steel

On Christmas morning, I treated my family with some delicious carrot, walnut, and raisin Belgian waffles!  Notice below, I added “teff” flour into my batter.  This is because teff  is very nutritious.  It has more protein than wheat, it is packed with calcium, and it contains iron and thiamine.  I also added carrots for beta-carotene, walnuts for added protein and omega 3s, and raisins for added antioxidants.

These waffles have a crunchy outside and the inside is fluffy, sweet, and nutty.  I hope you like it as much as we did!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of unbleached all purpose flour
• 1 cup of teff flour
