Dinner Waffles

Motivated Mama's Note:

I created this recipe for my son, who was once a "challenging" eater who would eat anything in a waffle. I was amazed to find that it was, actually, pretty darn good. Whole grain, great protein, fiber and low sugar too! There is lots of room for variation as well. Let me know what you try!
