Before making our simple and delicious brunch recipes, check out these helpful selection, storage and nutrition tips first:
Apple Bacon Belgian Waffles
- Finely chopped ham or Canadian bacon can easily be substituted for the cooked bacon in these part whole-grain waffles.
- Vegetable oils such as corn, canola or soybean (which says “vegetable”) are the best choices to use in any pancake or waffle batter because they’re a neutral and won’t impart strong flavors the way olive or grapeseed oil will.
- Smaller waffle irons can be used. Just adjust cooking time appropriately.
- Provide cooking spray or plenty of oil with a brush out on the buffet for your guests to use on the waffle iron if your iron isn’t nonstick.
- Any favorite apple variety can be used, from Granny Smith, Jazz and Honeycrisp to Golden Delicious, JonaGold and Fuji.
- Keep the apple skin on for more of the fiber and disease-fighting nutrients.
- White whole-wheat flour has all the same fiber, vitamins and minerals that traditional whole-wheat flour does. It’s just lighter in color and texture.
- Buttermilk adds a dose of protein and calcium to these fiber- and nutrient-rich waffles.
