Excellent! I've made these and frozen them to be served at our church cafe. They don't last long and they line up when they find out I've made them, lol. I used oat bran in place of the wheat germ and 1 1/2 Tbs unsweetened applesauce instead of the oil. The smell while they are cooking fills the house and brings everyone to the breakfast table from a dead sleep :)

These were tasty, but came out quite soft. This may be from my waffle iron, though. I did have problems with sticking, so had to use a lot of oil on the waffle iron. My toddler liked them as did my husband and I. Put the remaining in the freezer to heat up for quick breakfasts in the morning. Liked the healthiness of the whole wheat and wheat germ to add a little nutrition in!

Excellent, easy and really delicious! My family loved these and after 1 bite my husband said that this recipe was a definite a keeper. I didn't have powdered milk so I used powdered buttermilk and I substituted whole wheat pastry flour for the all purpose flour. I used 2 tbsp of oil and instead of 3 and had no problems sticking. Each bach took about 7 minutes in my waffle iron and they had a lightly crisp texture on the outside with a slightly dense interior. The flavor was great with a perfect amount of cinnamon flavor and a lovely nutiness from the wheat germ and whole wheat flour. Fantastic!!
