Kamut waffles are here to shake up your breakfast routine with their nutty flavor and golden, crisp edges! Made with a blend of stone-ground kamut, oat flour, and flaxseed, these waffles are light, airy, and oh-so-satisfying.
Folded egg whites give them a light, airy texture and they’re just waiting to be topped with butter, syrup, or fresh fruit for a breakfast that’s anything but ordinary.
Here is Why This Kamut Flour Waffle Recipe Works
Nutty Flavor with Substance: Thanks to stone-ground kamut and oat flour, these waffles have a hearty, slightly nutty taste that takes them a step beyond the usual breakfast fare.
Light as a Cloud: Folding in whipped egg whites gives them a fluffy texture without the need for any extra kitchen gymnastics—just a quick mix and you’re golden!
Sneaky Boost of Good Stuff: With ground flaxseed in the mix, you’re getting a little extra something-something. So much better than a waffle mix.
Versatile Topping Canvas: These waffles play well with everything from butter and syrup to a fresh fruit pile-up.
The Ingredients
- Pantry: Kamut flour, oat flour, ground flax seed, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, Cooking oil
- Fridge: Buttermilk, milk, eggs
- Condiments: Honey
We used avocado oil but coconut oil or avocado oil are also great choices.
Variations
Blueberry Almond Waffles: Fold in ½ cup of fresh blueberries and ¼ cup of sliced almonds.
Cinnamon Apple Walnut Waffles: Fold in ½ cup of finely diced apple, ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, and a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Lemon Poppy Seed Whole Grain Waffles: Mix in 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds and the zest of one lemon.
Tips for Success
- Give your waffle iron plenty of time to get hot; this helps achieve that crispy exterior while keeping the inside light and fluffy.
- Whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks before folding them in makes a big difference in the waffles’ airy texture. Don’t skip this step!
- Allowing the batter to rest for 5–10 minutes gives the flours time to hydrate, resulting in a smoother, thicker batter.
- If the batter feels too thick, gently stir in a splash of milk until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- Follow your waffle maker’s recommended amount to prevent overflow. Too much batter can lead to a sticky mess!
- Keep cooked waffles warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) until you’re ready to eat.
Storage
Refrigerating Leftovers: Place any leftover waffles in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: If you’d like to save waffles for later, let them cool completely, then arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a resealable freezer bag. Frozen waffles can be stored for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To enjoy your waffles as if they were freshly made, pop them in the toaster or a 350°F oven for 5–10 minutes, until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy instead of crisp.
