Gluten Free Whole Grain Waffles

10-Minute Gluten-Free Whole Grain Waffles

Posted on October 12, 2021June 4, 2022 by Jen

For the Birds…

A Bit of History:

Upon hearing about my latest culinary adventure, a friend asked, “Isn’t millet bird seed?” I conceded that birds do eat millet, however they consume millet with husks. Humans, on the other hand, eat hulled millet (that has to meet safety and hygiene standards) cooked into tasty concoctions like my latest recipe for 10-Minute Gluten-Free Whole Grain Waffles!

Millet belongs to the grass family and humans have consumed millet cereal for over 7,000 years! Millet tolerates higher growing temperatures and dry conditions, which makes it an important crop in many countries. I also discovered that the hulls of millet seeds are used as stuffing to manufacture pillows.

About the Recipe: 10-Minute Gluten-Free Whole Grain Waffles

Millet stands out for many reasons; it is rich in protein and vitamin B, has a low glycemic index, gluten-free, and works in sweet or savory preparations. Nearly every weekend, we eat freshly prepared pancakes or waffles. This past weekend I experimented with millet and oats for a wonderful whole grain and gluten free combination. I love the simplicity of this recipe! Prepare the batter in less than a minute in a blender. Next, cook batter either in a waffle maker or as pancakes on a griddle. Top with your favorite breakfast condiment for a wonderful, filling, healthy meal. Better yet, make the batter the night before and store in the refrigerator. Leftover waffles freeze well and taste wonderful reheated in a toaster.

Slow Food, Less Effort, 1 Ingredient at a Time

Are you striving to make a lifestyle change or looking to discover plant-focused recipes the whole family will love?

My name is Jen. I am a wife, mom, and a pharmacist. I love to cook for my family, hike, run, and read about history. I enjoy eating fresh, seasonal, locally available produce. In addition to endurance trail runs and long bike rides, I will happily set out on foraging hikes for mushrooms and truffles.

Waiting for the seasons to change, fruits to ripen, vegetables to mature, or truffles to reach their peak (7-11 years) is an endurance sport in itself.  Nonetheless, the time and effort spent is well worth crossing that finish line and enjoying a delicious, healthy meal.

I always say the slower you run, the more you enjoy the trail. Food is the same. Cooking together in the kitchen with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is all about taking life slower and enjoying the process and experience. Plant-based, healthy food for the whole family with less effort, so you can slow down and enjoy life!
