Ingredients
For the wet ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups dairy-free milk
- 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
- 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp. lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract
For the dry ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour*
- 1 cup almond flour** (super-fine)
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Stir-in:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, small (or wild blueberries)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Whisk and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Stir.
- Add dry ingredients to wet, and whisk until just combined. Then gently fold in blueberries. Set batter aside to rest for a few minutes while you warm your waffle iron.
- Preheat your waffle iron to desired setting. (I set mine medium to medium-high.)
- Once iron is hot, use a 1/2-cup measuring cup to scoop out batter and place in the middle of the hot waffle iron. (No need to overfill it - I find it cooks better when I don't push the batter all the way to the edge.)
- Close lid and cook waffle 6-8 minutes or until steam has completely stopped. (Try not to open the lid during cooking.)
- Then carefully remove waffle and continue process with the remaining batter.
- Top with fresh blueberries, lemon zest, maple syrup, or other desired toppings.

Notes
- *Flour: I use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour.
- **Nut-free version: Omit the almond flour and all-purpose flour, and use 2 cups oat flour for your base. I find this results in denser (but still tasty!) waffles.
- Waffle iron: My 7-inch round Belgian waffle iron is non-stick and doesn't require oil or spray. Be sure to lightly spray yours if your machine requires it.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 6 Belgian waffles. It may be more or less depending on the size of your waffle maker.
- Pancake option: The batter works well for pancakes too!
