Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups Flaxseed meal
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoons Sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Oil or melted butter
- as needed Cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal, flour, baking powder, sugar (if using), and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and oil or melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter to prevent sticking.
Scoop an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's capacity), spreading it out slightly if needed.
Close the lid and cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp. This typically takes 4-6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
