Eight: Apricot and Brown Sugar Waffles

1 1/4 C white whole wheat flour
1 1/4 C all purpose flour
1/2 C coconut oil
2 eggs (beaten)
1 T baking powder
1/4 C + 1 T brown sugar
2 T butter (for the caramelized apricots)
6 apricots (caramelized- recipe below)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt

While you are mixing up the ingredients for your waffle batter, make caramelized apricots.
First, cut apricots in half and take out the pits, dice.
Next, add 2T butter, 1 T brown sugar, and apricots to a small sautee pan, for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally

After the apricots are soft and have a darker color add them to the rest of the batter.

Beat until smooth and pour into a hot, greased waffle iron.

This recipe is inspired by a sale at a local market.  I bought about 30 pounds of apricots and wanted to try something delicious with them.   These are sweet with a touch of sour, rich, and buttery from the combination of butter and coconut oil.  The kids gobbled them up and I didn't even add syrup to them.  Although they would have been delicious with a dollop of whipped cream.

My 2 year olds love to help "stir it up!"
