1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup flaxseed meal (ground flax seeds)
1 tablespoon sugar

pinch salt

1 egg replacer (I use Ener-g)

Directions:

1. Sift flours into a large bowl. Add oats, wheat germ, flaxseed meal, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk lightly enough to combine.

2. Turn on and preheat the waffle iron. Spray some nonstick before it gets hot. Mix milk, applesauce, canola oil, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. In a small bowl whisk egg replacer and warm water (according to package directions) turbulently until well blended and foamy.

3. Add the beaten egg replacer to the wet ingredients and lightly whisk until combined. Create a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredient mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

4. Ladle just enough batter into the iron to cover most of the bottom plate, press and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Enjoy!
