MULTI-GRAIN WAFFLES

Traditional waffles are a butter-laden, high-carb indulgence, but they make the transition to good fats and smart carbs beautifully, yielding crisp, nutty-tasting waffles with all the sweet pleasure of the original. The batter can also be used for pancakes.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups buttermilk
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
⅔ cup whole-wheat flour
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ, or cornmeal
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

Mix buttermilk and oats in a medium bowl; let stand for 15 minutes.
Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat germ (or cornmeal), baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Stir eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla into the oat mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; mix with a rubber spatula just until moistened.
Coat a waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat. Spoon in enough batter to cover three-fourths of the surface (about 2/3 cup for an 8-by-8-inch waffle iron). Cook until waffles are crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Time 40m

Yield About 8 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon wheat germ, optional
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons grapeseed or vegetable oil, plus more for brushing waffle iron
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
Plain low-fat yogurt and your favorite fruit preserves, for topping, optional

Steps:

Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, oats, wheat germ, if using, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, oil, sugar and eggs in another bowl. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with oil. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
Top each waffle with yogurt and fruit preserves, if desired.

Tips:

For a crispier waffle, cook it for an extra minute or two.
To make the waffles ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the waffles in a toaster or oven until they're warmed through.
These waffles are also great for making breakfast sandwiches. Just top them with your favorite toppings, such as eggs, cheese, bacon, or avocado.
If you don't have a waffle maker, you can also cook these waffles in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to grease the skillet well before adding the batter.

Conclusion:

These healthy multigrain chia waffles are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They're packed with whole grains, fiber, and protein, and they're also low in sugar and calories. Plus, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast, give these waffles a try.
