Yummy sounding TF Waffles

Make this the evening before:
2 cups of whole wheat flour (I usually mix 1 cup of whole wheat, 1/2 cup of oats, 1/4 cup of barley, 1/4 of buckwheat, anything goes really, spelt is good too)
2 cups of kefir (I make my own from raw milk, but commercial whole milk yoghurt will do fine too; you can also use regular whole milk, but add 2 T. lemon juice to it, the idea is that the grains are in an acid environment for some hours, it makes a thinner batter though)
Let this sit on the counter overnight.
The next morning, add 2 beaten eggs, 2 T. melted butter or coconut oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp baking soda, and whatever else you like in waffles, like blueberries and/or chocolate chips :-)
The soaking overnight predigests the grains and makes this not as heavy as one would think, on the contrary. And it is very nutritious. Because of the dairy and fat, you don't get a carb overload, but a more balanced meal
