Flaxseed Waffles

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup whole brown flaxseeds
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted better

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. Whisk the milk, butter, and eggs into a medium bowl then gradually whisk into the dry ingredients. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes for the flour and seeds to hydrate and for the baking powder to start to react.

Spray a waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat per the iron’s directions. Following the instructions for the iron, pour the batter into the waffle iron, approximately one cup of batter, and cook.

The waffles are best fresh from the iron and piping hot with butter and honey, but a large batch can be made on the weekend and frozen for the week. Nestle a cooling rack in a cookie sheet and spread the waffles in a single layer on the racks. Freeze until frozen hard and then they can be stacked and placed in an airtight container or bag and can be stored for at least two months. The frozen waffles can then be reheated in a microwave or a toaster oven.

These flaxseed waffles are an excellent way to introduce this ingredient into the diet of even the most finicky child, and by cooking them ahead of time, you will both save money and time, while adding one more level of control of what your child ingests.
