Ingredients
- 1 flax egg (1 Tbsp ground flax seed + 2.5 Tbsp water)
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce (or sub a little extra almond milk)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or light extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- pinch sea salt
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- Optional for topping: maple syrup, berries, bananas, peanut butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, prepare flax egg by combining water and flaxseed and letting it rest for 5 minutes to achieve an “eggy” texture.
- Add the maple syrup, applesauce, oil, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and whisk. Add almond milk and stir once more.
- Next add flour and oat flour and whisk gently until just combined. Let batter rest while preheating your waffle iron, preferably to a high “crispy” setting. (I like mine crispy)
- Once preheated, generously spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and spoon about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the center of the iron and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Once done, place on a cooling rack briefly to let steam roll off and crisp up a bit. Then transfer to serving plates in a 200-degree oven. Serve warm with maple syrup and whatever toppings you wish.
