These waffles turned out to be exceptional and I'm not even a waffle person. I used our White Spelt flour but I am betting you could use our Whole Grain Spelt flour without even having to modify the recipe much. 

Full disclosure: I only have a mini waffle iron (to be completely honest I am not even sure where/when/how I acquired that even!) so I actually cut this recipe in half and it made 5 fist sized mini waffles that were fluffy, browned well and didn't really stick to my waffle iron. 

I sprayed my iron with Coconut Oil Pan Spray for the first two and then forgot on the third one and it didn't stick at all so I didn't spray for the final two and they came out of the waffle iron just fine! (Don't mind that spillage on the bottom there. I got a little too excited and heavy handed with my pouring. Oops!)

Ingredients: 
2 Cups Unbleached White Spelt Flour
1 TBSP Baking Powder 
Pinch of Salt 
1+1/2 Cup Almond Milk
1/4 Cup Melted Coconut Oil
2 TBSP Agave (or preferred sweetener)

Directions: 
Preheat waffle iron 
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in large mixing bowl. Then add milk, oil and sweetener stirring just until combined. 
When waffle iron is heated, lightly grease it with any oil of your choosing. 
Scoop/Pour batter into the waffle maker and let cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until center is thoroughly cooked. 

This recipe would make 10 fist sized waffles so probably about 5 normal, large waffles. 

Cheers to another awesome Spelt centered breakfast!

Oh happy day! I got my Mom's buttermilk biscuit recipe to share with all of you! 

So first, you have to understand that my mom LOVES to cook/bake for her family and friends. It's definitely her love language and let me tell you, we are forever grateful that we get to be the recipients of that love (and food)! 

Now, when someone comes to visit her or my birthday rolls around or the Holidays are approaching - we always look forward to that beautiful question from my Mom: What would you like me to make special for you? 

I share this because her sausage gravy and biscuits are definitely high up on that request list! I honestly do not think I have the words to accurately describe just how fabulous my Mom's biscuits are. Looks like you'll just have to try your hand at them and experience it for yourself! 

Ingredients: 
2 cups Unbleached White Spelt Flour
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt 
6 tbsp Unsalted Butter, cold
1 cup Buttermilk 

Directions: 
Preheat over to 450 degrees 

Combine dry ingredients (flour, soda, power & salt)
Cut butter into flour mixture 
Add Buttermilk (do not overwork) 
Put mixture on floured cutting board 
Gently Pat it down, do not roll
Cut dough into individ. biscuits

Place in baking pan close together so they will rise high and stay moist

Bake in over for 10 - 12 minutes 

 Enjoy! 

Ok, so these bad boys were made on an evening when all I really wanted was for my house to smell good for the company that was on the way. My house always smells good (I'm not an animal!!) but I was looking to set a mood of domesticity especially since I was expecting a group of women! 

I'm not kidding when I tell you that these brownies were the best I have ever tasted - and I've tasted many brownies in my lifetime! The coarse Sea Salt makes all the difference if you're like me and a fanatic for a good salty-sweet combo! 

Here's what to do: 

Ingredients: 
1 Stick Salted Butter
6 oz. Bittersweet Chocolate 
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
3 Large Eggs
3/4 Cup Packed Light-Brown Sugar 
1/2 tsp Coarse Sea Salt 
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3/4 Cup Unbleached White Spelt Flour 

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees 
• Line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment letting it overhang a little on two sides and then butter parchment or spray with cooking spray. 
• Put butter and bittersweet chocolate in a fairly large, heat proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (I used two similarly sized sauce pans, one on top of the other - pictured below). 
• Melt and stir until smooth. 
• Remove from heat and whisk in sugars. 
• Whisk in eggs one at a time until combined. 
• Whisk in Cocoa and salt, then fold in flour until combined. 

Pour batter into your lined pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs - was about 35 minutes for me. 
Let cool completely in the pan, preferably sitting on a wire rack away from heat. 

Lift out parchment with using the overhanging parchment. 

Cut into 16 squares (or however many you want!) 

Then take a minutes to prepare yourself for some gooey, chocolate-y deliciousness! 

Enjoy!
