Blender Waffles

We have a new favorite waffle.

Forget all about my previous waffle recipe. They are healthy but not nearly as delicious as these are. Maybe it's because they have a tad bit of oil and sugar?...

The beauty of these waffles is they use whole-grain wheat (like the wheat berries or kernels) without needing to have a wheat grinder. Trying to finish off some of that eternal food storage? This is a great way to do it! The key is to blend them for a LONG time for a smoother texture. If you're in a hurry, you can stop early but the waffles will be a little crunchier.

Also, you can make these into pancakes if you'd rather.

The topping on these is made from blackberries, but you can use the same technique I use for my blueberry topping to put on these. Yum!

1 cup whole-wheat kernels
1 1/2 cups milk
1 egg
2 T. oil
1 T. baking powder
1-2 T. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix wheat and 1 cup of milk in a blender. Blend for 2-3 minutes. Add remaining milk. Blend another 2-3 minutes (the wussier your blender, the longer you should blend everything). Add remaining ingredients and blend to combine.

Cook on a hot greased waffle iron or pancake griddle. Makes about 6 waffles.
