Flax seed waffles and maple agave nectar

So did the title get your attention? Hope it did, because these are not to be missed things! First off I want to tell you about how I love to make homemade pancakes and I think mixes are just vehicles for gross chemicals and I'd never ever buy one. Now I want to tell you about a mix that is amazing, delicious, and contains only REAL ingredients and totally something I would buy.


Pizzey's Premium pancake and waffle mix. This product was brought to me by Flax Matters and I'm so grateful they found me!


The mix is super quick and easy. 1 cup mix plus 1 egg, 1 cup milk, 1 Tbs oil. Mix, let sit 2-3 minutes, and you are good to go! How simple is that!?! And all ingredients you can read and understand! Whole wheat flour, flax seeds, delicious.


I whipped them up and plugged the waffle iron in to heat up, a few minutes later I had these tender with just the right amount of chew waffles on my plate. Delicious and better than some homemade recipes I've used before.


OK now onto the topping. My peeps at wholesome sweeteners (love this company) have been up to it again and have now come out with flavored agave nectar!!!! Seriously!!!


mmmmmmmmmm Obviously there will be more posts to come using these bad boys in recipes and not just as toppings (I'm thinking up so many good ideas you have no idea). But for today I had to try the maple agave on the waffles, and I was NOT disappointed. I mean don't get me wrong I love me some REAL maple syrup, not that fake kind, but if you are looking for a lower glycemic index way of having your wonderful maple flavor... this is it right here. Not at all fake/gross tasting, I say give it a go!

Another thought... I kinda want to make the waffles again but use a flax egg instead of a real egg... flax overkill? perhaps... but I still want to try it!! Good thing they sent me some milled flax seed too! Results to come :)

Keep your eyes peeled the cinnamon agave should be making a baked goods appearance shortly :D
