Recipe 49: Pizza Waffles

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1-3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup chopped turkey pepperoni
• 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Heat a waffle iron to medium-high.
2. In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs until fluffy. Stir in the flour, milk, oil, sugar, baking powered and sea salt until smooth. Stir in the chopped pepperoni and shredded cheese.
3. Spray the waffle iron with non-stick spray. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Close lid and bake for approximately 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Repeat until all of the batter is used up. Spray the waffle iron with non-stick spray each time.
5. Serve with your favorite pizza sauce.

This recipe was easy to make, the kids liked it okay, and it was a cheap meal that I think was pretty healthy. Overall I think it made a good lunch or snack, when you want to use leftover cheese and pepperoni, but I wouldn't make it for dinner.
