Waffles and Blueberry sauce

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups milk (I have used everything from skim milk to thick buttermilk…so whatever you have on hand should work)
  • 1/2 cup oil (I used melted butter or coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2  teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 cups whole-wheat flour
  • 1/4 c wheat bran, wheat germ, flax
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Serve with Blueberry sauce

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, honey, cinnamon, and baking soda until well combined.
  3. Add in the flour, baking powder and soda, and salt and whisk together just until the large lumps disappear.
  4. When the waffle iron is hot, dab it with a little butter and then ladle some batter onto the center of the iron. Follow the instructions that came with your waffle maker to know how long it should be cooked (mine takes about 3 - 4 minutes each).
  5. Keep waffles warm until you finish cooking all of them. Top with pure maple syrup and fruit. Enjoy!

these are very filling waffles.

Blueberry sauce  (raspberry or blackberries)
  • 2 cups frozen blueberries 
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon), optional
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey and lemon juice. Stir frequently, and bring to a low boil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
  3. Slowly stir the cornstarch into the blueberries, taking care not to crush the blueberries. Simmer until the homemade blueberry sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and gently stir in vanilla and lemon zest.
4/2/21 made this one several times, its so delicious.

2                 1 cup whole-wheat flour
2                 1 cup milk
1 1/4c         ¾ cup water

  1. put all ingredients in blender or bowl and mix well. Let stand about 15 minutes.
  2. Melt and swirl around a small pat of butter in an 8 or 10-inch frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Angle pan and pour enough batter on one side to thinly and evenly cover the pan. Very quickly swirl the batter around to cover the pan in one thin layer.
  4. Immediately use your cooking spatula to push down the thin edges of the crepe around the perimeter.
  5. After about 1 minute (and once it is golden brown on the bottom) carefully flip it over without tearing the crepe.
  6. Fry for 1 more minute on the other side (until it is golden brown as well) and then roll up each crepe. 
    Serve with 100% pure maple syrup or plain yogurt, granola, grape sauce and sometimes chloe likes to put peanut butter on them.
