I’M MAKING WAFFLES

 

Waffle Wednesday is my favorite kinda Wednesday

 

Truthfully I’ve gotten lazy when it comes to my mornings - when usually breakfast is my favorite meal! My appetite just hasn’t been what issued to in the mornings (I’m usually a bottomless pit when it comes to breakfast foods, i.e. Ron Swanson style) but lately I’ve been drinking smoothies and forgetting to nurture myself - TREAT YO SELF!  So I'm treating myself to waffles, in bed, while watching Friends as I enjoy this GOODNESS - before work of course!

 

Cook & prep time 20 minutes!

 

Ingredients:

Waffles - 

  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Small pinch of sea salt 
  • 1 1/4 cup of nut milk + 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil (or olive oil)
  • 1/4 cup of honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 gluten free rolled oats
  • 1 3/4 cups gluten free flour (or almond flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Optional Add ons (after waffles are made)

  • Handful of strawberries 
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 Tblspoon of Coconut Kitchen Lemon Zest Coconut Butter

How to:

  • Preheat waffle iron 
  • Combine nut milk and vinegar in a small bowl and let it activate 
  • Add in coconut oil, honey, and whisk
  • Add dry ingredients into large mixing bowl & whisk
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients until combined 
    • Taste batter for flavor!
  • Coat waffle iron with nonstick coconut oil spray (because it cooks well at a high heat)
  • Pour a little more than 1/4 cup (depending on the size of your waffle maker!!) onto waffle 
  • Cook according to waffle maker instructions
  • Top the waffles with plenty of maple syrup, cinnamon, straws berries, lemon zest AND Lemon Zest Coconut Butter by @CoconutKitchen! 
  • VOILA! WAFFLE WEDNESDAY! 

 

These waffles (not drenched in maple syrup) last for three weeks or so in the freezer!
