OT: Let's talk waffles

[maunahaole]

I'm looking to get a waffle iron - for weekend pre-ride hearty food. Any suggestions? Keep it simple?

Also, any recipe help on batter than can be premade and kept in the refrig for a few days? I'd prefer to save some time and have the stuff ready to pour. Whole grain and/or fruit laced would be appreciated.

There will be no talk of Log Cabin, Mrs. Butterworth or any of her brood here. We are a Maple only household.

Post up foodies, I know you are out there.

I have a belguim style iron that i think was from william sonoma but its older and was a gift
the batter makes the difference anyway, here my recipe ( I eyeball everything so no hard numbers)
these are dense and filling and great with peanut butter before riding but not light or fluffy

1 part quick oats
2 parts whole wheat pastry flour (you can use normal but this makes lighter waffles)
cinnamon
nutmeg
baking soda, use enough but not too much
egg
unsweetened applesauce, use enough to fully wet out the batter then a little more
milk to consistency

these are awesome for preride or pre race when i have time to make them

Belguim waffles and malpe syrup.

Stick a fork in the fat lady, I'm done!!!!!

Go for a real, round Belgian waffle iron. No square or skinny waffles need apply.

This is making me hungry.

My wife makes them for me ... I think she uses whole wheat pancake mix as the base and not sure what else. Top with bananas or other fruit. Good with Nutella or MAPLE syrup.
