Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Beetroot powder
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and beetroot powder until well combined.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
Step 3
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the almond milk mixture and stir well.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 5
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 6
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a bit of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle or according to your waffle iron's specifications.
Step 8
Cook the waffles until they are crispy and cooked through, usually about 5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Step 9
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 10
Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with vegan cream cheese or fresh fruits.
