Savory Cornmeal-Chia Waffles With Spicy Maple Syrup Recipe

Recipe By Real Simple

These waffles are the ticket to a great weekend morning. While a standard white-flour waffle will do the trick for a tasty breakfast, these hearty waffles are just as scrumptious, but much likely to keep you full longer thanks to stone-ground cornmeal, whole-milk greek yogurt, and chia seeds. Chia seeds are a good source of protein, which helps build and repair muscle, as well as omega-3 fats, which may reduce inflammation that can lead to diabetes and heart disease. A good-quality stone-ground cornmeal is the key to getting great flavor out of this recipe (avoid the coarse type of cornmeal) since it makes up the bulk of the batter. Bobs red mill is a readily available brand, and farmers markets often sell their own local varieties, too. Heads up: the red pepper flakes add a welcome adult twist on saturday morning sweets, but you can skip them for kids plates.
