Strawberry Waffles (Vegan & Gluten-Free)
These Strawberry Waffles combine gluten-free flours with plant milk and ground flaxseed to create light, vegan waffles studded with finely diced fresh strawberries. The waffles offer a tender crumb with fruity bursts from the berries and a mild sweetness from maple syrup and vanilla. Cooking in a waffle iron yields a crispy exterior and soft interior, making them a filling breakfast option.

Ingredients
For the wet ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups plant milk
- 2 Tbsp. Flaxseed ground
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. almond extract
For the dry ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour gluten-free
- 1 cup almond flour super-fine
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon (or more to taste)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Fold-in:
- 5 oz. strawberry about 1 cup finely diced, fresh
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add all wet ingredients. Whisk and set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, add all dry ingredients. Stir well.
- Add dry ingredients to wet. Whisk until just combined.
- Finely dice strawberries, stems removed. (I dice mine extra-fine to seamlessly combine with the batter.) Fold strawberries into the mixture.
- Turn on and preheat waffle iron to desired setting. (I set mine to medium/medium-high.)
- When iron is fully heated, scoop out batter and place in the middle of waffle iron. (I use a 1/2-cup measuring cup.)
- Close lid and let cook 5-7 minutes or until steam has completely stopped. Be sure not to open during cooking!
- When fully cooked, carefully remove waffle and continue process with the remaining batter.

Notes
- For nut-free version, substitute almond and all-purpose flour with 2 cups oat flour, though texture may be denser.
- Use a non-stick waffle iron without extra oil, or lightly spray if needed for your machine.
- Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour is recommended but can adjust based on availability.
- Finely dice strawberries to evenly distribute them in the batter.
