Healthy zucchini and blue berry waffles

I love my waffle iron and cannot imagine life without it.i experiment so much with it and love the crisp too and soft insides of it. I add almost anything and manage a good breakfast, a lunch , snack it even a dinner. I use it as a finger food , brunch or just about " when you are hungry" meals.Here I tried an experiment and the kids loved it. Phew , what a relief. This way I got my 17 yr old son who isn't much focused on food n fruits into eating few fruits.Loved the tangy taste in between.

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup suji

Savory waffles

     I liked waffles but they always are sweet and also almost always have eggs.I felt the need to make them more than just a breakfast dish.The need to give them more variety and make my waffle maker more usable.So the new variety was born which was savory!! I made them in various ways and each time they were a hit with everyone.So here is one which I make very often for breakfast as well as for dinner too when I am not keen on a full dinner and a quick fix spicy treat.Enjoy my invention!!
