Spelt Waffles - Fresh Milled Flour
These Spelt Flour Waffles are super easy, and so delicious! I make them with Fresh milled spelt flour, that way they have all the health benefits of whole wheat! This recipe makes a wonderful waffle perfect for that morning energy boost. (Spoiler- they make great late night snacks too! lol)
Equipment
- 1 waffle maker checkout my blog post for the waffle maker I use, and LOVE!
Ingredients
- 1- 1&1/2 cup Fresh milled spelt flour 180g I like to grind whole spelt berries, see notes for alternatives
- 1 TBSP sugar 13g you can sub honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk 240g
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 2 TBSP oil 24g or melted butter
Instructions
- Mill the Spelt Flour
- Preheat Waffle Maker
- Add Flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in one bowl.
- Then, in a separate container, whisk egg, milk, and oil (or melted butter.)
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated.
- Next, spray waffle maker with oil, and pour about 1/4 cup of batter into each waffle well (my waffle maker is a mini waffle maker that makes 4 -3.5 inch waffles at a time - So, you may need to adjust this amount for your waffle maker)
- Close the lid, and cook for about 5-7 minutes. They should look golden brown once cooked. (cook times may also vary with different waffle makers- refer to your waffle maker instructions.)
- Remove, and repeat process until batter is gone.
- If you want more waffles, this recipe can be easily doubled. And, if you have extras, they freeze really well too!
Belgian Waffle Maker Alternative
- To make the larger Belgian Waffles, you will need closer to a cup of batter total for each full waffle. One batch of this recipe will make about 4 Belgian waffles. You can double or triple the recipe.
Notes
This recipe can be doubled for more waffles, and if you have extras - they freeze really well!
This recipe makes amazing pancakes as well! I like to use soft white wheat for pancakes.
You can sub Kamut, Einkorn, soft wheat, or a mix of hard wheat with any of them in this recipe!
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.)
To store fresh milled flour waffles, I like to make extra, and let them cool completely, then freeze! They can be kept in the freezer for up to 4 months! Super easy breakfast, just toss them in the toaster!
