We have entered the picky eater phase. I was hoping that we wouldn't hit this for awhile longer, or ever! But that is definetly not the case. Bananas use to be his favorite food and now he avoids them like they are the black plague. It's definetly a trying time, that I know will pass we just have to keep pushing through it! Any words of advice or recipes you think we should try let me know! He also does this funny thing(although I won't let him know its funny till later in life) where he'll start to chew his food and you think, yes hes going to eat it...but then he spits it out!
So for this blog post I decided to share with you a recipe that he will not only eat but LOVES. For all you sourdough Mamas out there this one is perfect for you. Years ago I had a sourdough starter and just couldn't keep up with it. So naturally, now that I have so much less time I figured it was the perfect time to start another one. My friend Monica at Harvest and Thrive Homestead got me started on my starter journey this time around. These waffles are a sourdough discard recipe that not only does my picky toddler love, but also my picky husband. Here it is:
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sourdough discard
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp flaxseed meal
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup coconut milk
2 eggs
3 tbsp olive oil Directions:
1.) In a bowl mix together flour, milk, and sourdough starter.
2.) Cover bowl and let it sit for at least a few hours, but not more then 8 hours. *The longer it sits the thicker it gets. I normally mix it in the morning then make them late afternoon.
3.) Add the rest of the ingredients and make sure everything is incorporated well. If it does get too thick you can add more milk to thin it out. I turn on the waffle maker while mixing to let it preheat.
4.) Add about 1/2 cup to waffle maker for each waffle. Doing this makes about 8 waffles.
5.) Let cool and enjoy! I'll freeze extras and then pop them in oven or our NInja to reheat and toast.
This is the waffle maker that we have at home. I love the roatating aspect so that each side gets cooked evenly:
Tips:
I use coconut milk just because it kinda weirds me out to let regular milk sit on the counter for an extended period of time.
We love using local honey. Especially during allergy season. Local honey is any honey from a 50 mile radius from where you live.
I have the heat on the waffle maker just shy of half way which seems to brown them enough but not too much.
