Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1.5 cups Almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
• 2.5 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

In a separate bowl or a large measuring cup, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a minute or two to curdle slightly, creating a vegan buttermilk.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil to the almond milk mixture, and stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, along with the flax egg, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the waffle iron is hot, lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil or a non-stick spray.

Step 8

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (a scoop or ladle works well), spreading it evenly to the edges.

Step 9

Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron.

Step 10

Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 11

Serve the vegan maiswafels immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
