Toaster Waffles

I've never purchased toaster waffles, but I like the idea of a quick breakfast. I am not sure how our recipe measures up to prepackaged ones, but my kids love them!
I use fresh ground whole wheat flour, which adds nutrition, making these waffles fairly healthy... that is, if you don't glop on the maple syrup :) Instead of syrup, we also top with cooked or raw crushed fruit, agave nectar, and honey. And by all means, if you are putting on syrup, buy the real stuff, steer clear of that artificial maple syrup!
I normally double of triple this recipe when we make them.

1 1/2 cups fresh ground while whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
2 T sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
5 T oil

*Mix eggs, milk and oil in mixer until light and fluffy. Sift dry ingredients together and fold into liquid mixture just until mixed. Bake on hot waffle iron. Cool extra waffles on a wire rack. Freeze. Pop frozen waffle in toaster when you need one. Top with your favorite topping.

This is our toaster waffle with REAL syrup, fresh from Canada. Seriously, it couldn't get any fresher. My dad went to a Sugar House and the stuff was just made!
We like to add a few sprinkles for fun :)
