Oh my word. The first time I made these I was hooked, along with the rest of my crew. This is our go to waffle recipe, and a bi-weekly favorite breakfast around here.
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup unbleached flour
1/4 cup rolled oats (blended)
1/3 cup instant nonfat dry milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups buttermilk
Directions:
In large bowl combine all dry ingredients and set aside. Next, separate egg yolks and white into two bowls. In the bowl with the yolks, add the vanilla and oil. Whisk egg whites until stiff. Add yolk mixture to dry ingredients and give a few stirs. Fold in egg whites and let batter sit for 5 minutes. Can be used for waffles or pancakes.

Super Moist - Homemade - Chocolate Cake
This chocolate cake recipe is for the chocolate lover. Pure perfection. It is so moist there almost isn't a need for a glass of milk to go with it...almost. I also use it for cupcakes. Anytime you take these cakes or cupcakes to an event, be prepared to have the recipe written down on a few note cards and be ready to hand them out to all your new admirers.
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon of baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (or 1 teaspoon of vinegar added to one cup of milk)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
2 cups flour
1 cup hot water
Directions:
Here is the trick to a perfect cupcake or cake everytime. Place all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time. Pour hot water slowly into the bowl as you mix the ingredients with an electric mixer. Once all the water is poured in and the mixture is fully mixed, STOP mixing. Let it be. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes for cake, 12-15 minutes for the cupcakes.
