Poppy Seed Whole Grain Waffles

Ever since we bought our flip waffle maker, I've been searching for the perfect whole grain waffle recipe. I like regular waffles, too, but I've been trying to avoid the use of white flour in my recipes, so when I came across this recipe at one of my favorite food blogs, I had to try it. I modified this recipe to fit the ingredients I had on hand, and these waffles were absolutely delicious. Most importantly, however, the kids loved them! Hope you do, too!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ tablespoons poppy seeds
• 2 cups buttermilk (or 2 cups milk mixed with 2 tablespoons vinegar, set to curdle for ten minutes)
• 2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
• scant ½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
• 3 large eggs, whisked
• ⅓ cup butter, melted and cooled a bit

Directions

1. Mix the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Combine all ingredients in the large bowl, and spoon about ½ cup-fulls into preheated waffle maker. Don’t open the waffle maker to check on them for at a couple of minutes, letting the waffle form a crust.
4. Cook until deep golden brown. To keep them from getting soggy while the subsequent waffles are cooking, try placing them on a baking rack in the oven at 125 degrees F until they are ready to be served.
