Thank you so much! The waffles are an unbelievably simply recipe, and I even have it proportioned so that you can make it for one if needed:

2 tbsp. whole wheat pastry flour

1 tbsp. ground nuts (I like almonds or pecans)

1/2 - 1 tbsp. brown sugar (depends on how sweet you like them. Sometimes I barely use a tsp.)

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg

1/2 cup ricotta

1/2 tsp. vanilla.

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet in another. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until you have a nice batter with few lumps. Bake in a greased waffle iron, then put in a toaster oven to crisp the outsides. That makes three 4in. rectangle shaped ones.
