Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.75 cups Non-dairy milk (e.g., almond, oat, or soy milk)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted) or neutral-tasting vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Optional: Dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
If desired, gently fold in dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts at this stage.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a small amount of melted coconut oil.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's size and guidelines). Spread the batter evenly, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes, but cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, more maple syrup, or a dollop of non-dairy yogurt. Enjoy!
