Dry Ingredients:

Optional Add-Ins:

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Flax Egg

  • In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 2 ½ tbsp water.
    Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the flax egg.

Step 4: Make the Batter

  • Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 5: Preheat and Grease the Waffle Iron

  • Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with coconut oil or non-stick spray.

Step 6: Cook the Waffles

  • Pour about ½ cup of batter into the waffle iron.
  • Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  • Remove carefully and place on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  • Top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, nut butter, or dairy-free whipped cream. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crispy waffles, let them cook 1-2 minutes longer than usual.
  • To make these waffles gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • If you prefer an oil-free version, replace the oil with applesauce or additional plant-based milk.
  • These waffles freeze well! Store in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven.
