These might be my favorite waffles yet. Flavorful, good texture, froze well…good waffles. I’ve been playing around with spelt flour lately with great results. It has a light nutty flavor and substitutes well for all-purpose, so it’s easy to experiment.
I read about six recipes (here’s the closest) and then did this, with the approach of maintaining a 1:1 ratio of dry to liquid ingredients:
1 c spelt flour
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c wheat flour
1/4 c almond meal
2 T bran flakes
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cake spice (nutmeg, ginger, allspice, cinnamon, clove blend)
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbs sugar
–
1/2 c yogurt (greek)
1/3 c coconut oil
1 c milk
1 mashed ripe banana
2 eggs
2 Tbs cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat and grease waffle iron (I preheated to a higher temp than I cooked, cooking finally at setting 3 of 7), mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, stir wet into dry and let batter thicken 2 minutes. I like a consistency like quite thick cake batter.
Add heaping 1/2 cup of batter to iron and cook until golden, repeat. Makes about 8 waffles.
This recipe is receptive to substitutions.
Enjoy!
