Whole Wheat Blender Waffles with Coconut Syrup

I got this recipe off the internet recently and I've made it already a few times. These are sooo good and a great way to use up some of that wheat in your food storage. I know the syrup sounds interesting, but I'm telling you the waffles are amazing with it! I didn't have any buttermilk one time, so we just put jam on the waffles and they are good without the coconut, but not nearly as much as an indulgence. Try these, I don't think you'll be disappointed.


Whole Wheat Blender Waffles
1 cup plus 1 Tbsp whole wheat berries (these are just the wheat kernels you get)
1 cup milk
2 eggs
4 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp sugar (or honey)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Blend wheat berries and milk on high for 4-5 minutes, until batter is smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend on low for a minute or until incorporated. Cook on hot waffle iron. (stir batter before pouring into waffle iron, because the heavier wheat particles will settle at the bottom) makes about 10 waffles. (to make pancakes instead of waffles, use 1 cup wheat berries and 2 Tbsp oil)

Coconut Syrup
7-8 Tbsp butter
4/3 cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp coconut extract

Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a pot. Then turn stove on medium and stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and add soda and flavoring. It will bubble up; just continue to stir and give it a few minutes for the 'fizz' to reduce before serving.
