Sprouted Wheat Kernel Blender Waffles

      Ever since I first shared this post about sprouted wheat flour, I have been thinking about other applications for the process.  One recipe that kept popping into my head was one for waffles using the whole kernels of wheat rather than grinding them into flour.  That was one of the reasons I needed my new blender!  (Here is the link to the blender!) I thought that the sprouted wheat would make a much lighter, healthier waffle.  While the old way was good and kind of amazing to be able to make waffles without grinding the wheat first, the waffles did tend to be pretty heavy and overly filling.  The sprouted wheat flour made such a difference in the lightness of my bread, that I figured it might do the same for the waffle recipe.  So, I sprouted more wheat.

I wanted to show you a close up of the kernels as they are sprouting. This is all they need to do. Also, this time I soaked them for about two hours before I put them out to sprout. I still used a bowl, and I let them sprout overnight.
         In the morning I woke up and my wheat was nicely sprouted.  I am going to dehydrate the rest of the wheat, but I reserved 2 cups of wheat for this recipe.  Later, after I dehydrate the wheat, I will try the recipe again to see if there is a difference.  I used to make this recipe with totally dry, unsprouted wheat kernels, so I know it will work, I just want to see if the texture and lightness is different.

The kernels go in the blender and are covered with milk. They are blended for 5 minutes.

After blending for 5 minutes, you add the rest of the ingredients and blend a bit more, until you have this nice smooth batter.
        Now you just bake the batter in a hot waffle iron.  This recipe makes 20, 4 inch squares.  My waffle iron cooks two squares at a time.  I have the Toastmaster Belgian Waffle Iron.  So, I call that 10 waffles that look like these. (see below)  But, here is a better deal on the Toastmaster 4 section Belgian Waffle Maker.  This recipe makes plenty of waffles to feed 5 people, but I think if you need a bigger batch, the blender could easily hold another 1/2 of the recipe.  Otherwise, you could make a batch, pour it into a bowl and then make another batch, because it whips up in about 7-8 min.

These waffles have such a great, light wheat flavor. They aren't nearly as heavy as they were when they were made with just the unsprouted kernel. I had seconds! I normally would have been full after one serving with the regular recipe. The lightness is so inviting.
              So, go ahead, sprout some wheat!  Get a blender!  Get a waffle iron!  Make breakfast and make your family happy and healthy!
