There are so many reasons to fall in love with these easy to prepare spelt waffles. They are crispy outside, and fluffy inside, and overall they are a healthier version than traditional ones. There are 10-12g of plant-based protein in each serving, depending on your brand of spelt flour. Add some nuts for a healthy fat to one of these waffles, and you’ve got a macronutrient balanced meal!
What I love about using spelt flour for these waffles, In addition to its richness in plant-protein, is it’s naturally sweet flavor. I love collecting unique flours to experiment with. My niece even made a cake out of spelt flour recently (using the spelt by accident) and I fell in love with its sweet flavor! That cake inspired me to try it with some waffles.
