Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 6 tablespoons water
• 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the flax egg. In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and set aside for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for a few minutes until the milk curdles, forming a vegan buttermilk.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and prepared flax egg to the curdled almond milk. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 7

Grease the waffle iron with a light coat of cooking spray or additional melted coconut oil.

Step 8

Pour a portion of the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using enough to cover the waffle grid without spilling over. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or nut butter.
