Raised Waffles

 

{ Raised Waffles}
Adapted from Daily Nibbles

Ingredients

½ cup warm water
1 package (2 ¼ tsp.) active dry yeast
2 cups almond milk, warmed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 cups flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ teaspoon baking soda

Optional: Maple syrup, lemon zest, fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. I used blueberries and topped with strawberries, honey and maple syrup.

Nighttime Directions

Pour warm water into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with yeast. Let sit for five minutes at room temperature until you see tiny bubbles on the surface.

Add the remaining ingredients, except for the eggs and baking soda.

Cover with plastic wrap and let sit overnight at room temperature.

Good Morning

Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat. 

The batter should be huge, lumpy and bubbly. The yeast did work.

Add the eggs and baking soda right before cooking.

Spray waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray and pour about a half cup of batter on. Sprinkle with blueberries or any other fruit and cook until golden brown.

Serve with fruit, maple syrup, orange juice and lots of coffee. 

These waffles are slightly sweet, almost bread-like in taste and are perfect for absorbing homemade maple syrup. With a nighttime little preparation, these are perfect for a lazy special Saturday morning.
