Multigrain Waffles with Chocolate Syrup–Happy Birthday Heidi!
Waffles
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oat flour (pulverize rolled oats in a food processor)
1//4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup oil
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then combine. Cook in a waffle baker per manufacturer's instructions. (1/3 cup batter per waffle for about 5 minutes.)
Chocolate syrup
2 cups water
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup pure cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup light cream or milk
Mix water, flour, cocoa, and sugar with a whisk until smooth. Cook over medium high heat until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and cream. Serve immediately with whipped cream. Yum!
(Oats tend to absorb a lot of moisture. If your batter gets too thick you can add more milk.)
This syrup tastes decadent, but it has about half the sugar of commercial syrups and the cocoa powder is rich in antioxidants.
Yummy! This looks like something Sean would really like. š
I can’t eat oats, do you have another recommendation for substitution for those that just have regular flour in their pantries?
Amy,
Any type of flour will work. You can use whole wheat, white, barley, rice, soy. Just experiment with what you have on hand.
