Spelt Waffles Made With Fresh Milled Flour – Super Easy!

We made these Super Easy Spelt Waffles Made With Fresh Milled Flour for Christmas Morning! I was gifted a Waffle maker this year, and it sure was fun for the whole family. So, we experimented with different Fresh Milled Flours, and we noticed some pretty big differences! But, I fell in love with waffles all over again! Just look how fresh and delicious these look!

The Best Waffle Maker!

This is the BEST Waffle Maker I have ever used! I am thrilled this is the one I received as a gift. It makes 4 smaller round waffles at a time, which allows more people to eat at a time, instead of making waffles one at a time! And you all know that I don’t have room in my RV for multiple waffle makers! So, this particular waffle model also has two spots to make a long pancake which was fun for Kodie, my teen son! To sum up, we had great family fun making these waffles together, experimenting with different fruits, flavors, and grains!

Loving this waffle maker so far! If you are interested, you can find it HERE

What Fresh Milled Flour Is Best For Waffles?

The general consensus is that Spelt Flour made the BEST tasting waffles. Spelt brings a nutty flavor, and just rounds the whole waffle flavor, plain or with add-ins. However, if you like a really soft waffles, soft white wheat was a runner up in our family. The flavor was still delicious, and it was a favorite with Hayli, my teen daughter.

Here is one of each! The waffle(closest) had a softer texture. Beautiful fresh milled Soft White Wheat with Fresh Blueberries inside.

The waffle(further away), is the waffle made with Spelt with fresh strawberries inside. You can see a slight difference in color and texture.

What Is Spelt, And Is It Good For You?

Firstly, spelt is considered an ancient grain, and is a member of the wheat family. It has a softer texture when milled into flour, creating a lighter airier flour. And, spelt has a sweet, nutty flavor. Secondly, Yes! Spelt is very good for you! Especially fresh milled or whole spelt. Spelt can be ground into flour, or rolled like Oats, either way, when you are eating the whole Spelt berry/kernel you are getting all the nutrients! Lastly, Spelt packs a nice energy boost, making a great start to any day!

Making spelt waffles is fairly a simple process. to make the batter, first, mix 1&1/2c spelt flour, 1 TBSP sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1c milk, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 egg, and 2 TBSP oil. Next, pour the batter into the waffle iron, and cook for about 5-7 minutes. (time may depend on your waffle maker). Lastly, enjoy!

How Long To Cook Spelt Waffles?

Cook spelt waffles for 5 – 7 Minutes. They should be a nice golden brown when finished. Our waffle maker does not require flipping, so if you have a different waffle maker, refer to the instructions for your model.

You can make this recipe with commercial white flour, but you may need to change the flour ratio (1 cup white all-purpose flour should work well for this recipe.)
