Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 cups Buttermilk (or yogurt, kefir, or milk with 1 tbsp of vinegar/lemon juice added)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Butter (melted)
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil or extra butter (for greasing the waffle iron)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and buttermilk. Stir well until a thick batter is formed. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours to soak.
2. After the soaking period, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. To the soaked mixture, add the eggs, melted butter, baking powder, baking soda, salt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well-mixed.
4. Lightly grease the waffle iron with coconut oil or extra butter to prevent sticking.
5. Ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly, and close the lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
6. Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Serve the waffles warm with desired toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, or whipped cream.
