Whole Grain Weekend Waffles

Here are some delicious waffles that are outstanding examples of how great food can taste when it is healthy and happens to be gluten free. These waffles are a power breakfast for any day... they can be frozen and heated up in your toaster just like any toaster waffle. Top with fruit and real maple syrup and you will say " Man do  I love Sunday breakfast", even during the week.

1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup oat flour
1/4 cup millet flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1 Tbs. baking powder

2 eggs
2 Tbs. maple syrup
2 Tbs. almond oil
1 cup buttermilk or yogurt

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl with a wire whisk. In another bowl beat the eggs, stir in the remaining wet ingredients until smooth. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stir to combine. Place 1/3-1/2 cup of batter into the waffle maker, for each waffle.

Cook waffles until golden and crispy. Serve with butter, berries, sausage and  real maple syrup.
