Description

These spelt waffles are divine! Light, airy and crisp. The perfect platform for pure maple syrup. Plus the spelt offers a wondrously nutty essence you just don’t get with plain old flour. The beauty is, these are my family’s favorite waffles. They don’t miss the white-processed flour, the handful of white sugar, and the additional that I took out! So you can eat your waffles on Saturday morning, without an ounce of guilt.

Ingredients

  • 2-¼ cups Spelt Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ¾ cups Seltzer Water
  • ¼ cups Oil

Preparation

Preheat your waffle iron.

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Then whisk in all the wet ingredients until smooth.

Scoop the batter into the waffle iron and close. Cook for 2–5 minutes, then repeat.

Makes twelve 4-inch waffles.

I just made these this morning – they’re fantastic! I can’t believe there’s no sugar. Check out the post I put up about it!

Seltzer water? Hmm! Interesting! Spelt is my very favorite kind of flour (too bad it’s not easier to come by), so I’ll give your recipe a try next time I have some in the pantry. Thanks!

Pretty decent recipe. The first waffles flavor was rather flat. I added about 2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 cup date palm sugar ( brown sugar would do, I used date palm because of a lower glycemic index), which helped the flavor, and I also added some dried cherries and chocolate chips. Also I needed to turn my waffle iron to high heat and to get more of a belgian crisp cooked the waffles for about 8-10 minutes. The waffles were still tender, but held together nicely.
Very simple to make, made about 6 good sized waffles, and a decent recipe for a healthier version of the breakfast classic
