If you're just on 'no-whites' you could just substitute wholewheat or oatflour or something like that. I found this even lower carb recipe in Dr Joseph Mercola's No Grain Cookbook. I haven't tried it yet.
Carob-Buckwheat Waffles
These brownie-like waffles are delicious. They accept a fruit topping - but taste good enough to nibble alone. The nuts are optional, but if you remember loving walnuts or pecans in your brownies, include them when you can.
1 cup white, unroasted buckwheat groats
2 cups boiling water or tea
2 1/2 tbls. starch (arrowroot, tapioca, kudzu)
1/2 cup walnuts, raw or lightly roasted
1/2 cup carob flour
1/2 tsp. unbuffered, corn-free vitamin C
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbls. vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
Preheat waffle iron to medium. If it's well seasoned, you won't need oil, but follow manufacturer's directions.
Grind 1/3 cup groats at a time in a blender. Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the starch, carob flour, salt, and chopped nuts.
In the same blender (without washing), grind the remaining nuts to a fine meal. Scrape the bottom and sides of the jar; add 1 3/4 cups of boiling water or tea, vitamin C crystals, oil and vanilla; blend for one minute.
Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients. Whisk lightly until the mixture is blended. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of boiling water with the baking soda (it will foam up). Stir to dissolve. Whisk it into the batter.
Use a measuring cup to pour 1 cup of batter into the heated waffle iron. Depending on your equipment, these waffles take 10-14 minutes to bake. (Don't peek for at least 10 minutes.)
Makes 4 waffles.
