A whole grain waffle that is actually light and fluffy felt as likely as unicorns being real... until this recipe! These are a favorite in our house because they feel like a treat (which makes the boys happy) but are packed with whole grains and some fruit (which makes me happy). We love to have them with syrup on the first day and then make cream cheese sandwiches with them throughout the week for an easy, portable breakfast.
1 1/4cupsrolled oats use wheat/gluten-free,if needed
1cupwhole wheat flour this should be a scant cup, just short of 1 cup of flour, I like the white whole wheat from King Arthur Flour, use wheat/gluten-free, if needed
3Tbsp. sugar
1tsp.baking powder
1tsp. salt
1/2tsp.baking soda
3eggsbeaten
2cupslow fat plain yogurt or use any variety
4Tbsp.unsalted buttermelted
1cupblueberries or wild blueberriesfresh or frozen
Instructions
Preheat and grease your waffle iron. Preheat oven to 200.
Grind the oats in your food processor or blender until they are the consistency of whole-wheat flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, other flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In another bowl, melt the butter and then whisk in the eggs. When well combined, whisk in the yogurt.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Gently mix in the blueberries.
Ladle the recommended amount of waffle batter into the hot waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffle is golden. Put cooked waffle in the oven to keep warm and repeat the process until all waffles are baked. Serve with extra blueberries and maple syrup.
