There are so many reasons to fall in love with these easy to prepare spelt waffles. They are crispy outside, and fluffy inside, and overall they are a healthier version than traditional ones. There are 10-12g of plant-based protein in each serving, depending on your brand of spelt flour. Add some nuts for a healthy fat to one of these waffles, and you’ve got a macronutrient balanced meal!
What I love about using spelt flour for these waffles, In addition to its richness in plant-protein, is it’s naturally sweet flavor. I love collecting unique flours to experiment with. My niece even made a cake out of spelt flour recently (using the spelt by accident) and I fell in love with its sweet flavor! That cake inspired me to try it with some waffles.
Suitable for different occasions – like weekend breakfast, or weekend brunch – these spelt waffles will delight everyone; your family members, neighbors, anyone who likes simple waffles with the sweet whole grain taste of spelt. They are especially delicious served with fresh fruit (such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries), honey, nuts, dates, and/or whipped cream. The options are limitless!
