Almond Waffles with Raspberry Sauce

This is an amazingly simple way to make waffles. Blend the batter in your Vitamix and pour directly from the container. Grinding the almond or any nut into a flour first will make a dynamite waffle for your family. These recipes plus optional whipped cream can all be made in your Vitamix blender in far less time than traditional preparations.
