Blender Batter Pancakes/Waffles
Adapted from Sue Gregg's Blender Batter Pancake Recipe

This recipe couldn't be easier or healthier. It contains simply whole, uncooked grains blended with yogurt, buttermilk, kefir, or some acid medium with a few other household ingredients! No sugar, refined flour, or hydrogenated oils or any additives. Serve with steamed veggies for breakfast or top with nut butter of choice. These also work great for lunches and snacks!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups buttermilk, kefir, or coconut milk with 1 TBS apple cider vinegar added.
2 TBS Oil (Olive , Coconut, or Grapeseed)
¾ cup of sorghum berries
¾ cup of millet (or, substituted 1 ½ cups of grain of your choice: amaranth, brown rice, gluten-free oats)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg or 1 TBS Chia seeds soaked in 1 TBS water for 10 minutes
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. sea salt

Directions

1. The night before you want to eat the waffles, assemble the milk/kefir, oil, grains, and vanilla extract and place them in your blender.
2. Blend on high for several minutes until the batter is no longer "grainy". It may take up to 3 minutes depending upon your machine. Look for a "vortex" in the middle of the blender while the batter is swirling. This is important. If you don't see one, just add a little more liquid.
3. Cover your blender and let the mixture sit overnight, or for 12-24 hours. This allows for the enzyme inhibitors to break down so that the grains are more easily digested.
4. In the morning, preheat your waffle iron. Add 1 egg (or substitute) to the batter and blend for 1 minute. If it looks like you need to add more liquid to achieve a vortex, do so.
5. Combine baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt in a small bowl.
6. All at once, add the above mixture to your blender while it is running to ensure quick, efficient assimilation.
7. Pour batter into waffle iron as per your waffle iron's instructions. Enjoy!

This usually makes 12 waffles for our family, which is more than enough for about 3 breakfasts. These reheat superbly, and because they are filled with whole, unprocessed grains, healthy kefir, and coconut oil, they are rather filling!
