Blender Waffles or Pancakes

I got this recipe from Urbanhomemaker.com, and I think they got it from Sue Gregg and it is fabulous. Sue Gregg has a set of cookbooks which are sold by Urbanhomemaker that stress whole grains and healthy choices. Her recipes are good but need to be adapted for soaking grains. Once you try these waffles/pancakes you will never be happy eating at IHOP again. The key these waffles is making sure that the batter is thin enough to form a vortex in the blender. You can add a bit more liquid if necessary.

Mix and soak for 7 hours or overnight in your blender. Do not refrigerate:
1 1/2 C buttermilk, kefir or sour milk
1/2 C raw brown rice
1/2 C pastry wheat berries
1/2 C rolled oats

After soaking grains add and blend in blender the following ingredients. Blend for 1 - 3 minutes until smooth.:
1 egg
2 T olive oil or coconut oil
1 tsp. vanilla
2 T honey
1 tsp salt

Stir in the following. You can expect the contents in the blender to double:
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp Rumford baking powder

Cook on lightly oiled waffle iron or skillet.

Try different grain variations totaling 1 1/2 C of grains except as noted. Here are some you might like:
Brown rice
Millet
Kamut, Spelt or hard or soft winter wheat
7 grain mix
Buckwheat (make with only 1 c because it expands)
barley (hulled, not pearled. Use only 1 c)
corn (whole corn, not corn meal)
Quinoa (must rinse thoroughly first before soaking)
Oats (Uncooked rolled oats or groats)

  1. We had these the other day and they are absolutely delicious! I'm looking forward to making these on my own and playing with other ingredients.
