Healthy Millet And Buckwheat Waffles Or Pancakes

Name: Healthy Millet And Buckwheat Waffles Or Pancakes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup millet; 1 cup buckwheat groats; 1/4 cup coconut, shredded, unsweetened; 1 egg (optional); 2 tablespoons butter (ghee or coconut oil); 2 tablespoons honey or 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses; 1 tablespoon orange zest; 2 teaspoons cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

Servings: persons

1
Place the millet and buckwheat in 1 1/2 cups water in a medium bowl, loosely cover and let stand on the counter overnight (or at least 5 hours).
2
Drain, rinse and place the soaked grains in a blender (not a Vita-Mixer which makes the batter too fine and, therefore, more dense). With a spatula or clean fingers, level the grains. Add enough fresh water to just reach the top of the grains. Add coconut, egg, butter, honey, orange zest, cinnamon and salt. Process into a thick batter. Some millet will remain whole and this provides crunch. Pour the batter onto a hot waffle iron, sprinkle the top with sunflower seeds, close and bake according to the manufacturer's directions. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
3
Note: Substitute whole oats for the buckwheat. Or substitute pecans or walnuts for the sunflower seeds. Do not add fruit to this waffle as fruit makes it too heavy and acidic and therefore hard to digest.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
