Chai (Himalayan Tartary) Buckwheat Waffles
Chai tea originated thousands of years ago in India and Siam. Its spices, black tea, water, and milk blend make it a healthy digestive. The Himalayan Tatary Buckwheat is full of phytonutrients with high levels of immune active polyphenols and low glycemic response. Buckwheat is also high in protein and gluten-free. I like to slather with almond butter and top with honey-glazed fresh berries with a scoop of Greek yogurt for a full breakfast or brunch. However, I think these waffles' flavor alone will win the day!
Make the whole recipe and freeze the extra waffles individually well-wrapped. Then pop them into the toaster for a quick morning breakfast. That is if there are extra waffles.
12 Belgium-size waffles
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup almond flour
1 ½ cups buckwheat flour (preferably Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup allulose
2 teaspoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
3 eggs, at room temperature, separated
1 cup full-fat Greek-style yogurt
¾ cup full-fat milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
Avocado oil spray for the waffle maker
DIRECTIONS:
1. Whisk the almond flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, allulose, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom in a large mixing bowl. Set it aside.
2. In another mixing bowl, whip the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
3. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined.
4. Preheat a waffle maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Preheat an oven to 200°F to hold cooked waffles hot.
5. Whip the egg white until it forms soft peaks. Then, gently fold it into the batter.
6. Brush or spray the waffle maker with avocado oil. Spoon the batter into the waffle iron or according to the manufacturer's directions. With a heat-resistant oil-coated spatula, smooth the batter to all corners of the waffle maker. Cook for about three to four minutes until browned. At this point, cooked waffles may be held in a 200°F oven until all the waffles are cooked.
7. Top each waffle with your favorite topping and serve immediately.
