Crispy Oat Waffles

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, blended into flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plant milk
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Coconut cream, fresh berries, and maple syrup, to serve

How to make it

1. 1

   Mix the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to gel.

2. 2

   Blend the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a fine flour. Transfer to a large bowl.

3. 3

   Add the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the oat flour and whisk to combine.

4. 4

   Add the plant milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and the flax egg. Stir until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes — it will thicken slightly.

5. 5

   Preheat your waffle iron and brush lightly with coconut oil. Pour in enough batter to fill the iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your iron's size).

6. 6

   Close the lid and cook until the steam slows noticeably, about 4 to 5 minutes. Do not open early.

7. 7

   Serve immediately with a dollop of coconut cream, a handful of fresh berries, and maple syrup.
