Whole-Grain Waffle and Pancake Mix

This is a great make-ahead mix for the busy cook whether serving family or special guests.

10 cups whole-grain flour (you can use a variety to what suits your needs.)
1-1/2 cups buckwheat flour (at health food stores)1
1/2 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1-1/2 cups oatmeal (You can blend in your blender or coffee grinder or just leave it whole.)
2 cups buttermilk powder
5 T baking powder
2 T baking soda
1 cup sucanat (natural sweetener found at the health stores)
2 T salt

Mix all together in a very large bowl and divide up into labeled gallon-sized freezer storage bags. Store extra in freezer. These also make wonderful gifts. Just remember to add the directions, which follow:
To make pancakes or waffles:
1 cup pancake or waffle mix
1 egg
1/2 to 2/3 cup water
2 T oil

You can add ground flaxseed, chopped fruit, etc. on top of the batter when cooking to add extra nutrition and flavor.

I make many batches of cooked waffles and freeze them. We just take them out and put them in the toaster!

Some great toppings that we use are:
pure maple syrup (for special occasions)
plain yogurt with a bit of honey & vanilla added
warmed up berries
applesauce
natural peanut butter with mashed banana

We've been having waffles on Sunday mornings as a special treat. I make the batter up the night before. I found this wonderful waffle maker that makes 4 large squares at the local Salvation Army!

Enjoy good health!
