Freshly-milled Einkorn Cinnamon & Banana Waffles

Ingredients

• 1 c original oats

• 1 1/2 c freshly-milled einkorn flour or purchased organic einkorn flour

• 1/4 c kamut flour a.k.a. freshly ground Khorasan flour

• 2 tbsp raw sugar can substitute honey here

• 2 tsp baking soda

• 3/4 tsp salt

• 1 tbsp cinnamon

• 2 c well-shaken buttermilk

• 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons) melted

• 2 eggs

• 2 ripe bananas

• 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

• Place oats in blender and chop until oats are ground into small oat pieces (not quite a powder).

• Add oats to the rest of the dry ingredients (Einkorn, Kamut, sugars, baking soda, salt, cinnamon) to a large bowl and mix well.

• In a small bowl, smash the bananas until no chunks remain.

• Add the wet ingredients (buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, melted butter) to the bananas. Whisk until smooth, scraping sides until mixed well.

• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.

• Spray hot waffle iron lightly with oil and pour slightly rounded half a cup of batter into each waffle mold. Cook waffles a little longer than usual to cook to crisp.

I make this into a dry mix to enjoy as a quicker option from my pantry on busy days. Here is what I do:

1. Mix the dry ingredients and combine into a storage container in your cupboard.

2. Refer to or print these instructions to place onto the container:

3. Got it — you added an extra ¼ cup kamut flour and ¼ cup einkorn flour to the dry mix.
