Whole Wheat Waffles: Healthier without fuss

 I used Non-hydrogenated rice barn oil shortening many times before in allergen free baking, but it's not the only way to use it. 

You can use it instead of any shortening. As it will become solid again after cooling so it's the same as other. For me healthy food, doesn't mean that you have to give up everything delicious ^^. Like this time, I use Non-hydrogenated rice barn oil shortening than simple shortening (it's better to your health as it made with natural process), and add whole wheat flour into the batter to increase the fibre, so you get better, and healthier food without fuss.  
I always believe that all foods are good as long as we eat them in moderation, and heathy food is better when it's delicious without using any chemical ingredients. For this recipe, I really recommend you to let the batter rest for 30 minutes, as the whole wheat flour will softer and the texture of the waffle will become better. You can add vanilla extract into the batter if you want to serve it as a dessert, but I didn't write it in the ingredient list, as I eat it both in sweet and savoury dish.
