Thanks to our farmers at Blooming Glen Farm, we now have locally-grown, fresh-ground, organic (non GMO) cornmeal available to us! An heirloom variety of dent corn, “Nothstine”, was grown and harvested on the farm and then ground into cornmeal.  You can use this tasty cornmeal in cornbread or muffin recipes, as a tasty “breading” on your favorite protein, in pancakes, or in these delicious waffles.

Cornmeal Waffles

¾ cup cornmeal
¾ cup flour (all purpose; gluten free blend; or cassava)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp sea salt

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 Tbsp oil (avocado, olive, or melted coconut) or melted butter

Directions:

  • Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine eggs, honey, milk, and oil.
  • Slowly mix dry mixture into the wet mixture until well combined.
