Cranberry-Walnut Belgian Waffles

Belgian waffles have larger squares and deeper pockets than American waffles. I make mine with nutrition boosters like whole wheat, flaxseed, cranberries and toasted walnuts. —Laura McDowell, Portland, Maine

Directions

• Grease a Belgian waffle iron with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high. Whisk together first six ingredients and 1/8 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, butter and vanilla. Add to flour mixture; stir until just combined. Fold in 3/4 cup cranberries and walnuts.
• Pour 1/3 cup batter into each quarter of waffle iron, spreading batter to edges. Close; cook until waffle iron stops steaming and waffle is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, granulated sugar, water, remaining cranberries and remaining salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice. Serve with waffles.

Editor's Note

To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
