Preparation

Step 1

for the bacon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange the bacon slices in a large baking dish, or rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the sugar over the bacon. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes, until the bacon has nice color and is caramelized. Set the bacon onto a cutting board to cool, and once cool, slice into tiny bits.

Preheat waffle iron to medium heat.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a smaller mixing bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, and then whisk in the milk , yogurt, and oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing just until combined. Fold in to bacon bits.

Pour 1/4 cup per waffle on to the waffle iron. Keep cooked waffles warm on a platter in a 200 degree oven.

Serve with a little bit of butter and plenty of maple syrup.
