3307. WHOLE WHEAT and CHIA SEED WAFFLES with FRESH BERRIES and BACON

1.5 cups of whole wheat flour
1/3 cup chia seeds
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk

1/3 cup melted butter

2 eggs

To serve
bacon
fresh berries

Place the wheat, chia seeds, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, milk and melted butter. Gradually whisk in to dry ingredients. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Heat a waffle iron or skillet and brush with butter or non-stick spray. Ladle about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and spread almost to the edges. Cook until bubbles form on the top, then flip and cook until golden on both sides.

In a separate pan, cook bacon until crisp.

To serve, pile bacon on top of waffles, sprinkle with berries and drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
