Submitted by Irmgard

"This recipe from Gale Gand makes pretty awesome pancakes as well; something I found out today when my waffle iron wasn't cooperating!"

These are awesome!! I make a hot breakfast 3 or 4 mornings a week, and this is totally going into my rotation :) Good alone, with butter, or with boysenberry syrup!!

These are fantastic! By far the lightest, fluffiest whole grain waffles I've made--and trust me, I've been trying to find a decent recipe my family would take over white flour waffles for ages. Usually whole grain waffles are so dense and heavy, but somehow these were soft and light. The flavors are perfect. The only change I made was canola oil in place of butter. I'm going to add orange zest as well as juice next time to punch up the orange flavor. My husband didn't even realize they were whole grain, he thought I just added oatmeal and orange for kicks. This is my go-to recipe from now on, and I'm going to pass it on to my friends as well. Thanks for the awesome recipe!
