Tips to Saving Grocery Money: Left-over grains in waffles

Use up some left over grains to fix this fast and healthy whole grain waffle in a jiffy. No need to buy frozen waffles that have additives, make a few more of these and pop in a gallon zipper bag with wax paper between them into the freezer, they toast up just like the convenience food and are better for you.

Wow, these turned out great! Thanks for all your help. :-) We have a soymilk machine and make a lot of different milks (soy, rice, nuts, seed) and I needed a way to use up all the leftover "pulp". This recipe is perfect. I ended up using nearly 2 cups of flour; maybe next time I'll use less liquid and less flour. They were very tasty, didn't stick to the waffle iron at all (a problem I often get with other batters), came out nice and light and crispy. I'll be making these again and again!

EnJOY!

@BaskingLizards ~ Oh good!! I'm so very glad you enjoyed these!! We love to do this and use up tid-bits. They are my kids favorite waffles...and they freeze well to. Just put wax paper (saved cereal bags)between each one after it gets room temp and put in a zipper baggie in the freezer. They pop in the toaster and tah-dah - beats a preservative filled eggo any day!

@thewheatguy What a great idea - never would have thought to use leftover cereal bags! Thanks for the tip!!

@BaskingLizards ~ Yay - hurray for free wax paper! (o:

@BaskingLizards - I just use up whatever I've got (not measuring) and add some dry and enough milk to make it 'look' like the batter for a waffle...that way I'm sure to use up most of my mush (usually between 1/2 C and 3/4 C is my typical mush amount I end up with leftover).

I have left it out and I have refrigerated it both. Depends on if you're squeamish about dairy out over night or not.

@BaskingLizards - I guess I misunderstood the question but when I re-read it after your other reply it makes more sense. If doing it the night before don't add soda/powder - do that in the morning. If doing it all in the morning - do the whole recipe and you're good to go! So...sorry to be confusing!!! (o:

Need another cup of coffee I suppose! (o:

@BaskingLizards - Oh you can do it right away...all in the blender no prob! Go ahead...just have to use it right away (you know in 1/2 hour max) after adding the soda/powder cuz it will go heavy if you had put it in over night. Go for it all in one shot in the morning if you need/want to!!! It works!

@thewheatguy Aww I was hoping to make some NOW! LOL How much of the whole-grain "mush" do you use? I estimated about a cup and a half... Do you leave the blender out on the counter or put it in the fridge? Sorry about all the questions! LOL
