New Recipe - Sourdough Waffles with Apple Syrup

Sourdough Waffles – No Eggs!

These waffles taste and smell like sourdough bread but are without wheat or sourdough starter.  They do contain gluten, although there is some debate about whether oats actually contain gluten.  Soaking the grains makes them highly digestible.  Serve with Apple Syrup (see recipe below)!

Prepare Ahead:   Soak grains overnight
Prep:                     10 min. (plus soak time)                     
Cook:                    4 min. per waffle      
Total Time:          30 min. (plus soak time)
Yield:                    4, 7 inch waffles        

Ingredients:
·         ½ cup whole oat flakes
·         ¼ cup whole buckwheat groats
·         ½  cup millet flour
·         1 cup water to soak
·         2 tbsp. lemon juice, whey or yogurt
·         ½ cup water to cook
·         2 tbsp. ground flaxseed
·         1 tbsp. oil
·         ½ tsp. sea salt

Preparation:
·         Soak grains in first measure of water and whey or lemon juice in a warm place overnight.
·         In the morning, blend soaked grains with their soaking liquid in a blender for 2 minutes or until smooth.
·         Add second measure of water and all other ingredients and blend briefly.
·         Cook on medium in a traditional waffle iron until the steaming nearly stops.
·         Cook extra long for crispiness.

 Apple Syrup

Ingredients:
·         1 cup apple juice
·         1/16-1/8 tsp. stevia concentrate
·         1/3 cup cold water
·         1 heaping tbsp. arrowroot powder
·         1 tbsp. maple syrup or 1 tsp. alcohol-free maple flavoring (optional)

Preparation:
·         Heat apple juice in a small sauce pan.
·         Dissolve arrowroot in the cold water and gradually add it to the simmering juice, stirring with a wire whisk to prevent lumps.
·         Simmer briefly to thicken.
·         Add optional maple flavoring and fresh fruit if desired.
·         Absolutely tastes best served hot.
