Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles

I love lemon poppy seed muffins and cake, so when I found this recipe I knew I had to give it a try. I love breakfast for dinner more than I love breakfast for breakfast! So the last time I made breakfast for dinner I made these so we could try them, and my family loved 'em! It's a very simple, but good recipe and the waffles are very filling.

3 C. Bisquick
3 (6 oz.) lemon yogurt -about 3 cups
3 eggs
3 T. poppy seeds

Combine all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Mix until slightly lumpy. Cover and let rise about 20-30 minutes. Cook in a hot waffle iron. Serve with maple syrup.

Maple Syrup
Bring 2 c. sugar and 1 c. water to a gentle boil. Continue boiling for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add 1 t. maple flavoring.

Breakfast Cake

I like to make this "cake" on Saturday mornings. We eat half and then have the rest for Sunday morning or afternoon when I'm in a hurry or everyone is starving. Smother in toppings and it makes a super yummy meal.

2 T. butter

2 c. milk

1 t. salt

6 eggs

1 3/4 c. flour

3 T. sugar

Optional toppings: 

syrup (maple, chocolate, caramel, etc.)

fresh fruit

pie filling

powdered sugar

whipped cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Melt butter in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan in the oven. Mix the rest of the ingredients in blender. Pour into the hot buttered pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until high bumps appear and the top is lightly browned. To serve, cut into individual squares. Serve immediately with optional toppings.

Quick Granola

1/3 c. oil

sunflower seeds, flax seeds, almonds, wheat germ, coconut, raisins, craisins, or anything else you love!

Mix together. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes (stirring half way through) for a soft, chewy texture. Bake a little longer if you like it crunchy. You might want to double the recipe for a larger batch because it is so good!

Serve warm out of the oven with yogurt and fresh fruit or like cold cereal with milk.
