Healthy Millet And Buckwheat Waffles Or Pancakes Food

EASY BUCKWHEAT WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron.
• In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients until combined.
• Pour the mixture into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown.

COCONUT BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place buckwheat groats in a bowl. Pour boiling water over groats and set aside for groats to absorb water, about 10 minutes. Retain water if it doesn't all absorb.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat.
• Whisk flour, coconut, and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Beat milk, egg, oil, and honey together in a third bowl. Stir buckwheat groats mixture and flour mixture into milk mixture until just combined.
• Spray skillet with cooking spray. Pour batter, 1/4 to 1/3 cup per pancake, into heated skillet. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

HEALTHY MILLET AND BUCKWHEAT WAFFLES OR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place the millet and buckwheat in 1 ½ cups water in a medium bowl, loosely cover and let stand on the counter overnight (or at least 5 hours).
• Drain, rinse and place the soaked grains in a blender (not a Vita-Mixer which makes the batter too fine and, therefore, more dense). With a spatula or clean fingers, level the grains. Add enough fresh water to just reach the top of the grains. Add coconut, egg, butter, honey, orange zest, cinnamon and salt. Process into a thick batter. Some millet will remain whole and this provides crunch. Pour the batter onto a hot waffle iron, sprinkle the top with sunflower seeds, close and bake according to the manufacturer's directions. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
• Note: Substitute whole oats for the buckwheat. Or substitute pecans or walnuts for the sunflower seeds. Do not add fruit to this waffle as fruit makes it too heavy and acidic and therefore hard to digest.

HONEYED BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES OR WAFFLES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except baking powder and wheat germ, just until batter is smooth.
• Gently fold in baking powder with a spatula.
• Spoon batter onto griddle or Belgium waffler.
• Sprinkle honey crunch wheat germ lightly on top of each pancake or waffle before closing waffle iron.
• Cook until lightly browned around edges.
• Top with desired toppings- butter, syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream or ?.
• Makes 8 pancakes / 3 large waffles.

CAROB BUCKWHEAT WAFFLES OR PANCAKES (GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle iron.
• Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the starch, carob powder, salt and chopped nuts.
• In the blender, grind the remaining nuts to a fine meal. Scrape the bottom and sides of the jar; add 1 ¾ C boiling water, vitamin C crystals, oil and vanilla; blend for one minute.
• If using optional eggs, mix yolks (if desired) into the batter and beat the whites, in a small bowl, to soft peaks. Use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter (in the next step).
• Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients. Whisk lightly until the mixture is blended.
• Combine the remaining ¼ C boiling water with the baking soda (it will foam up). Stir to dissolve and whisk into the batter.
• Use a measuring cup to pour 1 C batter into the heated waffle iron. Cook until done.
• If making pancakes, it makes 12-15 large ones.
