Multigrain healthy waffles


My love for English breakfasts made me splurge on my brand new Prestige waffle maker. I love to eat clean mostly, and in between indulge in junks. So most of my meals I prepare myself. 
I am a waffle lover and the ones we get around is made from Maida or all purpose flour which is the waste of wheat germ, yes guys for those who doesn't know; what ever comes as "refined", be cautious.

Refined is such a purest term which is real sin in food industry. Refined oil, refined flours, get away from it as much as possible.
Also if you can grind and make the flour of any grain at home, it is really not a rocket science. It is so easy to make most of them, and you don't have to worry about those allergen information in flour cartons, "Contains nuts; made in same processor as nuts" 🥜 

So the waffle love and my new waffle maker was calling out for a waffle break fast on a beautiful Sunday. This is the healthiest waffle you can ever get per me, completely vegan with no eggs and no added sugar too. If anyone wants to challenge this recipe, I will accept that :P lol

So over to the recipe now.


Ingredients (serves 2 people) : 

Banana mashed - 1/2 of one Robusta 🍌 
Ragi flour - 2 tbsp
Oats flour - 2 tbsp
Barley flour - 1 tbsp
Jowar flour - 1 tbsp
Maize flour - 1 tbsp
Flax egg - ground flax seed soaked in water (This is a perfect replacement for egg)
Seeds and nuts trial mix (home made) - 1 - 2 tsp
Salt as required
Eno fruit salt (optional) - 1/2 a sachet
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon powder - 1/2 tsp
Water to make a thick bater

I added some chocolate chips for that chocolaty touch. You can add any berries or fruits of your choice.
Method:
Mash the bananas into fine paste with back of fork or spoon. I always have banana in my freezer as I like to add that as sweetener for many of my sweet dishes and avoiding added sugars.
Now add all the flours, cinnamon, salt and baking soda to the banana mix and then the flax eggs too.
Mix well and add water to make the batter similar to below image.
I added Eno fruit salt just before cooking the waffles, but it is purely optional. You can add 1/2 tsp baking soda as well as replacement or just leave as is.
I served it with maple syrup drizzle, peanut butter and fresh pear 🍐 and the accompanying drink was my Keto Coffee! Keto coffee cuts down the sweetness of waffles and is perfect for getting those healthy fats.







Side notes:

 Trial mix is so easy to make at home; just combine dry fruits, seeds and nuts and thats it. Store brought can have preservatives and also very heavy on pocket.

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out.  The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Ayala Pollichathu - Mackerel roast in plantain leaves

This is yet another traditional Kerala recipe, in which fish is roasted in plantain leaves. There is a two step process in cooking fish, first by shallow frying and then roasted inside a plantain leaf covered with masalas. So my experience with pollichathu was with Karimeen alone until this time, my favorite fish, which is called Pearl spot in English. All these while I haven't tried any other fish for this recipe. So let me tell you the story of how Ayala came into picture :D This happened on one fine day, my mom in law was telling me that the women who brings fish has brought lots of Mackerel and many other fishes and convinced her to buy a lot of them. So she was in a confusion on what will we do with all these, as weekend was almost going to finish and everyone of us moving to different places. And the same curry or fry would be boring and won't be appreciated by the men's league at home :D Then I went for helping her with the fish dilemma, she was having and...

Bionico - Mexican Fruit Dessert

I was looking for a dessert which is simple and healthy for today and what came to my mind was Parfait. But the day was Mexican themed and I didn't want to deviate for the dessert part and spoil my theme plan ;) I was looking for similar desserts of Mexican origin, coz I wanted an easy healthy option and has base ingredients which I already have at home.  My search for the recipe ended in this great dessert from Mexico, The Fruit Bionico, which resembles parfait in many ingredients, just some difference in some of them. And I found an interesting factor in it and that strengthened my decision to go on with this. Yes, that is nothing but, our own freshly grated coconut :P Bionico is on sweeter side when compared to Parfait because of its sweetner condensed milk. I had my jars saved from Frozen bottle ice cream cakes, and that helped me to give my Bionico that ramp ready look. After the layers were set up, I was going crazy with the photos, as the beauty was looking so pr...
