Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 and ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 and ½ cups almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl stir together the almond milk and vinegar, set aside for it to curdle.
- Meanwhile in a large bowl combine the dry ingredients.
- Add the rest of wet ingredients to the curdled milk and mix well.
- Stir in the wet mix into the flour mix. Use a whisk to make a smooth batter.
- Let the batter sit for a while, for about 15 minutes at least before making the waffles.
- Grease well the the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and prepare the waffles as usual.
- Don't be in a hurry to open the waffle iron to remove the waffles. It might get stuck to the top. After pouring the batter, leave at least for 5 to 6 minutes or even more so that you get neat waffles.
Notes
- If you don't have whole wheat pastry flour, use all-purpose flour or use a mix of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.
- You can use your choice of non-diary milk instead of almond milk.
- Top the waffles with your choice of favorite fruits or nuts. I have used bananas and blueberries.
