Cuisinart Waffle Maker Winner

by The Meal Makeover Moms on February 22nd, 2010

Two weeks ago, we posted a new recipe for Banana Brownie Waffles along with a giveaway for a Cuisinart 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker. Over 260 entries later, we’re pleased to announce that Ellie B., a mom of two from South Riding, Virginia, is our official winner.  Here’s what she had to say: I am the only member of my family who does not like pancakes. I just don’t like the mushiness of them. But I love the crunch I get from a waffle!

Your blog and Facebook comments kept us laughing out loud, and the waffle recipes many of you shared including Whole Wheat Waffles topped with berries from Amy at Super Healthy Kids had our stomachs growling.  A nice surprise came from Kristen over at EatingRD who made our Banana Brownie Waffles in her heart-shaped waffle maker and then posted the delicious results to her blog. We encourage all of you to read Kristen’s post and to try the decadent yet healthy peanut butter mousse recipe she whipped up as a special topping!

Here are just a few of the many comments we received during the giveaway:

> Katie: We do not own a waffle maker, but my 5-year old son has been asking for one for months. I occasionally buy frozen waffles, but we usually just eat a lot of pancakes. We like your pumpkin chocolate chip pancake recipe. It would make my son so happy to have our own waffle maker.

> Shelley from My Journey to Fit:  I love waffles but sadly have been without a waffle maker for more than a decade (I know, the humanity). I would love to win this and would use it to make some protein-packed waffles – I’ve seen recipes floating around the blog-o-sphere, but never bothered to write them down because I don’t have a waffle maker … yet.

> Bethany: One of my favorite memories, when I was a little girl, is of my dad making waffles every Saturday morning. He always had a secret ingredient, usually apples, carrots or zucchini. My brother and I would even wake up early just to eat these waffles. We love waffles and would love to have a Belgian waffle maker so we could try your waffles.

> Kim: Would love, love, love a modern waffle maker! My grandmother’s waffle maker is tucked away in a drawer (think black and white woven thread-wrapped cord). My son loves whole-wheat waffles for breakfast on school days, and I’d love to make them from scratch.

> Jen: This recipe sounds awesome!! We would LOVE a new waffle maker! The last time I used mine, I was cleaning it up a bit before using and apparently got it a little wet. Plugged it in and POP!! I killed it.

> Paula from Gulf Coast Cottage: We love Belgian waffles. If you use club soda it helps to make an extra light waffle that is delicious. Topped with fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream, it’s perfect for a weekend breakfast. The waffle machine is a great way to bring family together to do something fun!

> Susan:  My son loves waffles in the morning, and our favorite waffle recipe is Buttermilk Pecan Waffles, a recipe I found several years ago in A Taste of Home magazine. They are tender and delicious.

> Sandy: We use Pamela’s wheat-free/gluten-free pancake & waffle mix. I love it because unlike so many mixes, this one still expects you to separate the eggs and beat the whites stiff for folding in after other ingredients are mixed … the single must-have step in great waffles. The mix begins with brown rice flour and then incorporates other really nutritious items like ground almond meal. It also makes great pancakes and whether or not you are gluten free, this mix rocks.

Thanks again for all of your wonderful comments. For those of you who own a waffle maker (or shall we say, a waffle maker that’s still working), we hope you’ll try our Banana Brownie Waffles. And when our new book comes out — which we absolutely promise will be some time in 2010 — you will also have an opportunity to try our new pumpkin waffles … a recipe we just created but are keeping locked up in “the vault” until book #2 is published. Happy waffle making everyone.

Our new Pumpkin Waffle recipe will be in book #2!
