I could just not sleep, so here is a fun recipe to try! xoxo
Whole Grain Waffles with Millet Sunflower Flax and Poppy Seeds
These waffles start with whole wheat flour and add in poppy seeds, roasted and salted sunflower seeds, uncooked millet and flax seeds, whole and ground. A waffle can be a fun breakfast finger food too if you go very sparing with your topping and butter when you serve which makes it something fun for a breakfast in bed or even on the porch.
This one has a goodly amount of butter in it just to warn.
The recipe makes four small or two large portions. Multiply for more.
Ingredients
A Waffle Iron
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups lukewarm milk (I used 2% milk)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons dry millet
3 tablespoons shelled roasted sunflower seeds (salted or unsalted)
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons flax seed meal
1 tablespoons whole flax seeds
Directions
In a medium bowl, whip together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In a small bowl, whip together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients, all at once, to the dry ingredients. Stir together until all of the dry ingredients are moist. The batter may be lumpy. Lumps are ok, it makes it fun for your tongue. Add in your millet, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, flax seed meal, and whole flax seeds. Whip to combine and try to beat most of the lumps out of the batter. Whip it, whip it good, ha ha! Now you can relax after and let the batter rest for 10 minutes while your waffle iron preheats.
For a fun twist, you can add minced fruits fresh or dried into the batter for different flavors. Blueberries are great antioxidants. Diced dates or apricots could be fun too. Mango or strawberries, would also be nice, just play with it, maybe add one thing to one waffle and something else to another?
Cook your waffles according to your waffle maker’s instructions. Dense and seedy and small enough to hold makes for a fun meal for couples or children too. These are great fresh, but you can freeze them and put them in a toaster oven too. I like toppings of fruit compote or marmalade and/or maple syrup. You can lightly dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon too; or even almond butter if you like?
Have a great weekend everyone!!
