10.4kHealthy Cranberry waffle with oats,whole wheat and finger millet
Waffles were found in the Middle Ages, around the 9th to 10th century. The early form of waffles was very different from that of today. The early waffle comprised of only grain flour and water.
Nowadays, waffles are a staple food in many homes, especially those in America. Many freezers would contain packets of frozen waffles for a perfect breakfast.
Waffle is a famous breakfast in many parts of the world. However, some of the ingredients used to make the dish is not advisable for frequent consumption. Hence, I have swapped the ingredients for some healthier alternatives and added a delicious jam-like spread.
Waffles create happiness in my kids. These thick and fluffy waffles contain homemade waffle mix.
