5 Grain Waffles with Flax Seed

Posted on 10:22 by Unknown
If you haven't noticed by now, I love to include whole grains in my cooking - and the more variety, the better they taste. This recipe combines five whole grains plus flax seed to make delicious, light, and crispy waffles that are full of flavor and taste wonderful. I'll also give you the recipe to make a waffle mix that you can store in the refrigerator, making this recipe even easier!


5 Grain Waffles with Flax Seed {Single Batch}
Printable Recipe

*Serves 5-7

*Note: You can use 1-1/2 C. wonder flour in place of the brown rice, barley, and spelt flour

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 C. Brown rice flour*
1/2 C. Barley flour*
1/2 C. Spelt flour*
1/4 C. Oat flour
1/4 C. Wheat flour
3 Tbsp. Ground flax seed
1 Tbsp. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1/3 C. Powdered milk
1/2 tsp. salt
2 C. Water
1/2 C. Canola oil
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla

DIRECTIONS:
Heat waffle iron. Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl and mix until combined. Combine water, oil, eggs and vanilla in large bowl and mix together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet all at once and lightly mix until just barely combined. Then let this mix set for a few minutes to let the baking powder do its thing (IMPORTANT: DO NOT MIX AGAIN!). Grease waffle iron well. Then add the amount recommended by your waffle iron's manufacturer to the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy.




Since it's not often practical to grind up all of those various grains every time you want to make waffles, here's the recipe you can use to make a large batch of waffle mix to keep in the refrigerator and pull out when you want to make a batch.

*This large batch will make 6 single batches

*Note: You can use 9 Cups wonder flour in place of the brown rice, barley, and spelt flour 

INGREDIENTS:
3 Cups Barley flour 
3 Cups Brown Rice flour
3 Cups Spelt flour
2-1/2 Cups 
Oat flour
2-1/2 Cups Wheat flour
1 Cup + 2 Tbsp. 
Ground flax seed
1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp. Baking powder
1 Tbsp. Baking soda
1 Tbsp. Salt
2 Cup Powdered milk

DIRECTIONS:
Combine all the ingredients and store in a large container in the refrigerator. I used a 5 qt. plastic ice cream container. Then follow the recipe for a single batch of waffle-mix waffles.

Printable Recipe

*Serves 5-7

INGREDIENTS:
2 Cup Water 
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Canola oil
1 tsp. Vanilla
3 scant Cups Waffle-Mix (scant means just barely below the cup line)

DIRECTIONS:
Heat waffle iron. Combine water, eggs, canola oil, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Mix until eggs are well beaten. Add the 3 scant cups of waffle mix all at once and stir until just barely combined. Then let this mix set for a few minutes to let the baking powder do its thing (IMPORTANT: DO NOT MIX AGAIN!). Grease waffle iron well. Then add the amount recommended by your waffle iron's manufacturer to the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy.

Caution #1: Make sure to not refill your waffle iron or you'll end up with this...

Caution #2: Make sure to spray your waffle iron really well or your waffles will end up looking like this...

And no those weren't on purpose...hehe...I have a lot of oopsies in my cooking. Just follow those two cautions and yours will turn out great! Enjoy!

Update: And if you've got a reason to celebrate here's a very yummy way to eat these waffles: Spread nutella on the hot waffle, top with strawberries, walnuts (yes, really) and whipped cream! Just look at the picture at the top of this post and see if your mouth doesn't water!
