Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour *
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger or 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk I used cashew
  • 2 large eggs or 2 flaxseed eggs**
  • 2 TBS oil***
  • 2 TBS molasses
  • 2 TBS dry sweetener of choice brown sugar, coconut, etc.
  • pure maple syrup butter, ghee, coconut butter, etc. for toppings

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare waffle maker by preheating and greasing – spray works best.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, spices and salt.
  3. Gently pour in milk, eggs, oil, molasses and dry sweetener; whisk together until batter is smooth.
  4. Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter into preheated and greased waffle maker, and allow waffle to fully cook until lightly golden. I waited until I heard sizzling, which was bout 4-5 minutes. Each waffle iron is different, so be sure to follow your waffle manufacturer's instructions. Also note 1/3 cup of batter should yield about 8 waffles.
  5. Gently remove waffles and transfer to warm oven before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • *I used half whole wheat pastry flour and half spelt flour. I am assuming all spelt flour would also work here. Whole wheat white should also be fine. Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour if needed.
  • **To make vegan use 2 TBS flaxseed + 6 TBS water and let sit for 5 minutes. You could also try using 1/3 cup applesauce, but I haven't tested that myself.
  • **I used avocado but melted and cooled coconut oil is fine.
