Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 4 cups Spelt Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 3 cups Cow’s or Almond Milk
- 1/4 c water
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 8 tbsp Butter, melted
- 8 tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the milk, syrup, egg yolks, vanilla extract, melted butter, and melted coconut oil. Mix until well blended.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This provides extra fluffiness to the waffles.
- Fold in Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Cook Waffles: Grease the waffle iron if necessary, then ladle the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for about 3–5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Butter adds a rich flavor and valuable nutrients — including fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as healthy saturated fats that support hormone balance and brain health.
- For dairy-free waffles, substitute almond milk for cow’s milk and coconut oil for butter.
- Spelt flour gives these waffles a slightly nutty taste and extra fiber.
- Serve with fresh fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.
