Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk cashew, almond, soy, hemp, etc.
  • 2 tablespoons oil light olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine dry ingredients: In small bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl whisk together egg with milk and oil. Add dry ingredients to bowl, mixing gently until smooth (don’t over-mix or waffles will be more dense instead of fluffy).
  3. Rest batter: Allow batter to rest while waffle iron is heating up.
  4. Cook: Add 1/4 cup batter to preheated waffle iron; cooking for 3-4 minutes. Every waffle iron is different so cook according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. Serve: Keep waffles warm until ready to serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • FLOUR - this recipe was specifically tested using whole wheat flour. If looking for a gluten-free alternative, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour and add 1 additional tablespoon.
  • VEGAN - I have not tested this recipe with flax eggs, but let me know if you try.
  • MILK - feel free to use dairy milk if you'd like. I do not recommend a plant protein based milk as they are usually thicker.
  • STORAGE - stored wrapped in plastic wrap or stacked in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • FREEZE - alternate each waffle with a piece of parchment paper and stack in a freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze for 3 months.
  • REHEAT - my favorite method for reheating wholesome waffles is in the toaster, about medium heat, because you get crisp edges. You can also use a toaster oven or microwave, and reheat until warm. If reheating frozen waffles, heat for 1-2 minutes longer.
