SIMPLY PERFECT QUINOA WAFFLES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, quinoa, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
• Gather two mixing bowls. Separate eggs, placing yolks in one bowl, whites in the other.
• Add almond milk and oil to bowl contain yolks. Beat until smooth.
• Using a clean, dry hand mixer, beat egg whites into stiff peeks, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Pour almond milk-egg mixture into dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Fold in egg whites.
• Set aside while waffle iron preheats. Here's the one I use - I love it!
• When ready, add about 1/2 cup of batter to the iron. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions or until crispy. Place cooked waffles on a cooling rack and keep warm in a 200 degree oven (avoid stacking as they'll get soggy).
• Serve with desired toppings and enjoy. Happy waffle eating!

WHOLE-WHEAT QUINOA BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the yeast and water and stir until dissolved. Stir in the agave syrup and molasses. Whisk in the flours, 1 cup at a time. Stir or whisk this mixture 100 times, for about two minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, cover the bowl with plastic and leave to rise in a warm spot for one hour, until bubbly.
• Add the oil to the sponge and fold in, using a large spoon or spatula. Add the salt and fold in. Fold in the quinoa, then fold in 2 cups of the whole-wheat flour. Place another 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour on your work surface, then scrape out the dough. Use a paddle to help fold the dough over while kneading until it has absorbed the flour on your work surface. Flour your hands, and knead the dough for 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary, until it is elastic and springs back when you press it with your finger. It will be dense and sticky. Shape the dough into a ball. Rinse and dry your bowl, and coat it with oil. Place the dough in it, then flip the dough over so that it is coated with oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and set in a warm spot to rise for one hour or until doubled.
• Punch down the dough, cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise again for 45 minutes to an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Divide the dough into two parts, and shape into loaves. Place half of the sesame seeds on your work surface, and gently roll the rounded side of one loaf over them so that they stick. Repeat with the remaining sesame seeds and the other loaf. Oil two 9-by-5-inch bread pans, and place the loaves in the pans, first seam side up, then seam side down. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until the surface of the loaves rises above the edges of the bread pans.
• Gently brush the loaves with egg wash. Using a sharp knife, cut two or three 1/2-inch-deep slashes across the top of each loaf. (If this causes the loaves to deflate, let them sit for another 15 to 20 minutes.) Bake 50 to 55 minutes, brushing again halfway through with egg wash. The bread is done when it is golden brown and responds to tapping with a hollow sound. Remove from the pans and cool on a rack.

HEALTHY MULTIGRAIN CHIA WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions; spray the inside with cooking spray.
• Whisk almond milk, applesauce, egg, chia seeds, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; let sit until chia seeds start to thicken the mixture, about 2 minutes. Whisk flour, oats, flax seed meal, baking powder, sugar, and salt into almond milk mixture until batter is smooth.
• Scoop 1/2 cup batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes per waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.

QUINOA AND WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine whole wheat flour, quinoa flour, turbinado sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk in egg and olive oil. Whisk in milk gradually until batter is a runny consistency.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Ladle 1/2 cup batter into the preheated iron; close and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
• In a separate glass or metal bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, applesauce and oil and mix well.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined and moistened. Try not to over-mix or the waffle will have a tougher consistency.
• Cook the waffles to golden brown according to the instructions on your waffle maker. Mine tells me NOT to spray the plates with any cooking spray and my waffles still never stick. But I know some ask you to spray the plates with cooking spray, so be sure to check the manual.

WHOLE WHEAT AND FLAX WAFFLES

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients.
• Mix wet ingredients separately.
• Mix dry and wet together whisk until smooth.
• Pour about 3/4 of a cup of batter at a time onto the waffle iron.
• You will begin to see steam coming out of the iron.
• Cook the waffles until the steam is almost gone.
• Any waffles we don't eat right away get put into the freezer, and we pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast or snack.
