Equipment

  • Measuring cups or scales
  • waffle maker

Ingredients

FOR THE WAFFLES

  • 350 ml unsweetened almond milk equals 1.5 cup
  • 200 g plain white flour equals 1.5 cup
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or substitute for a different type of vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FOR THE RASPBERRY SAUCE

  • 125 g frozen raspberries equals 1 cup
  • 3 tablespoon cocoa nibs
  • 2 tablespoon coconut flakes
  • 20 fresh raspberries

Instructions

FOR THE WAFFLES

  • Preheat your waffle iron.
  • Combine the flax seed and 3 tablespoon of hot water in a small bowl to make a flax egg. Set aside.
  • Combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a measuring cup, stir thoroughly and set aside.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to a medium bowl and mix well.
  • Return to your almond milk mixture and add in the oil, the flax mixture, and the vanilla. Mix well.
  • Pour your wet mixture over your dry ingredients and mix until few lumps remain (but don’t over whisk).
  • Cook the waffles according to your waffle maker’s instructions - I cooked my mini waffles for 8 minutes per waffle.
  • Eat right away, or let cool and toast later.

FOR THE RASPBERRY SAUCE

  • Heat up your frozen raspberries in a pan for 3-5 minutes until they start to disintegrate.
  • Add cocoa nibs and coconut flakes.
  • Drizzle over your waffles along with the sweetener of your choice.
  • Sprinkle with fresh raspberries.

Notes

  • Use the step-by-step photos above as your visual guide.
  • This recipe has been tested using weight measurements (not cups). I recommend using weight measurements (both EU and US weights are stated in the recipe card). Cups vary in size and are thus considerably less exact.
  • Feel free to substitute almond milk for any other plant milk.
  • Similarly, feel free to substitute white flour for other flours. Keep in mind the results might differ from the original recipe. 
  • If you prefer a sugar-free version, substitute sugar for stevia. Two tablespoons of sugar equal ½ teaspoon of powdered stevia extract. 
  • Mix until all your ingredients are just combined, careful not to overmix. 
  • Wait until your waffle maker is fully hot before adding your first batch.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
  • If serving later, make sure to toast your waffles just before serving.
