Cuisine: Belgian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: whole wheat flour, oats, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of cornmeal, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and beat them lightly. Then add 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter to the eggs. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few small lumps remaining.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle iron requires oil or cooking spray, lightly grease the plates to prevent sticking.
- Once the waffle iron is ready, pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron using a fork or tongs. Place them on a wire rack to keep them crisp while you cook the remaining waffles.
- Continue the process until all the batter is used, making sure to re-grease the waffle iron if necessary.
- Serve the multi-grain Belgian waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, maple syrup, yogurt, or whipped cream.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious multi-grain Belgian waffles!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, consider mixing the dry ingredients the night before. Just store them in an airtight container and add the wet ingredients when you're ready to cook.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, be gentle. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles. A few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Preheat Properly: Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the batter. This ensures that your waffles cook evenly and become perfectly crisp.
- Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh berries, sliced bananas, a sprinkle of nuts, or a drizzle of honey can take your waffles to the next level.
- Keep Waffles Crisp: To maintain the crispiness of your waffles while cooking the remaining batter, place them on a wire rack instead of a plate. This allows air to circulate around them.
- Batch Cooking: If you're serving a crowd, feel free to double the recipe. These waffles freeze well, so you can enjoy them later by simply reheating in a toaster or oven.
- Add Flavors: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the wet ingredients.Enjoy your cooking adventure with these Multi Grain Belgian Waffles, and savor every delicious bite!
