Lunchbox Inspiration: ABC Pinwheels
I love the combination of avocado and bacon. The sweet flavor of ripe avocado paired with the crunchy, salty flavor of bacon is definitely worth each savory bite.
Waffles make the perfect sandwich bread, especially when the filling is sweet and creamy.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 1 Sandwich(es)
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) cream cheese
- 2 whole wheat waffles (see recipe below)
- 1 peach, sliced thin
Preparation
Spread the cream cheese evenly on both waffles.
Place the peach slices onto one of the waffles, and close the sandwich.
Yield: 1 serving
Cooking
Whole Wheat Waffles:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (120 ml) warm water
3 tablespoons (21g) ground flaxseed
6 tablespoons (90g) butter, melted
1 1/2 cups (355 ml) milk
1 3/4 cups (210g) whole wheat pastry flour (all-purpose flour may be substituted)
1 tablespoon (14g) baking powder
1 tablespoon (13g) granulated sugar (optional)
pinch of salt
Preparation:
Preheat your waffle maker.
In a medium bowl, mix the water and flaxseed. Let it rest for a few minutes, or until it has become thick in consistency. Add the butter and milk, and mix to combine.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center, and pour the milk mixture. Stir until just combined, because over-stirred batter can make for tough, rubbery waffles. A few lumps are okay.
Spoon a scoopful of batter onto each waffle grid. Spread the batter to within 1/4 inch of the edge of the grids. Close the lid and bake until the waffle is golden brown.
Yield: 4 to 6 waffles - sizes vary by waffle maker
