Photo: Whole-Grain Waffles Recipe
Notes
These waffles are light but also crispy on the outside from just a touch of oil and a yeasted batter with buttermilk. Oats and whole wheat pastry flour make a heartier waffle that is delicious with fruit, yogurt or syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water (105 to 110 degrees)
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- Cooking spray for waffle iron
- Maple syrup, for serving
1. Sprinkle the yeast over the water in a large mixing bowl; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the buttermilk, oil, sugar and flour and whisk until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat a waffle iron. Whisk the oats, egg whites, baking soda, and salt into the waffle batter until smooth. Lightly mist the hot waffle iron with cooking spray. Add about 1/3 cup of batter to each section, using the back of a spoon to spread batter to the edges. Cook until the waffles are crisp and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup.

My daughter and I made these and we loved them. These waffles have a great texture and are not overly sweet although I did add a tsp of vanilla. I will add 2 next time.

My family, including my very picky 12 year old, likes this recipe. The whole wheat pastry flour is not whole wheat tasting. I"d suggest for those who did not like the taste to add 1/4 C brown sugar. But I"d prefer to not add more sugar in our diets, as it was fine the way it is!
