Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup double-acting baking powder 
  • cups cornmeal yellow
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • cup oats (do not use quick-cooking or steel-cut oats)
  • teaspoons salt 
  • 1.8 cups rice flour 
  • 0.8 cup sugar 
  • cups flour whole wheat

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • whisk
  • blender
  • waffle iron

Directions

  1. Whisk all the ingredients in a large bowl, taking care that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout. Spoon or pour the whole kit and caboodle into a large container and seal tightly. Store up to 3 months in a dark, cool pantry.
  2. NOW WHAT?
  3. To make 3 waffles, scoop 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons of the mix into a bowl.
  4. Whisk in 1 large egg, 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk (whole, 2%, 1%, or even fat-free), 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons nut oil (walnut, hazelnut, or pecan) or 2 1/2 tablespoons melted and cooled unsalted butter.
  5. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes while the waffle iron heats. Then make the waffles in the iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  6. Chef It Up!Although butter and maple syrup are the standard condiments, you might want to try sorghum syrup, a Southern favorite.Testers' Notes• A whole-grain mix you can make ahead and have on hand for when you're ready for waffles? Sounds like heaven to us!• Make sure you buy coarse whole-grain cornmeal. While the mix can be made with more standard yellow cornmeal—and is still a whole-grain recipe because of the rolled oats—the coarse cornmeal will make every forkful more toothsome.• If you want to turn this mix into pancake batter, thin it out with about 1/4 cup additional milk—or maybe even a little more, depending on how dry the flours have gotten as they've sat on the shelf.• Can't find whole-grain cornmeal? Grind coarse, whole-grain polenta in a large blender or food processor until it's the consistency of coarse cornmeal.
