Weekend Waffles
These nutrient-packed, plant-based waffles use a mixture of whole grain flours to create a perfect texture - fluffy inside and crisp outside. Top generously with berry syrup and fresh fruit.

Ingredients
Waffles
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 + 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 small apple (fuji, gala, granny smith)
- 2 dates
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup oat flour
- 1/3 cup garbanzo flour
- 1/3 cup barley flour
Toppings
- 1 cup frozen berries optional
- fresh berries optional
Instructions
- Combine flaxseed, chia seeds and 1/3 cup almond milk in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup almond milk, apple, dates and vanilla to food processor and blend until no chunks remain, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
- Combine baking powder and flours in a medium mixing bowl. Add flax/chia mixture and apple mixture and stir until combined.
- Cook waffles in a lightly oiled waffle maker. They will likely take longer to cook than your typical waffles.
- Microwave 1 cup frozen berries for 60 seconds. Stir/mash into a berry syrup.
- Serve waffles topped with berry syrup and fresh fruit.
Notes
To oil the waffle iron, simply rub oil on with a paper towel. We usually like to avoid oil when possible (see our Why No Oil post to learn more), although when using waffle irons we've found it to be necessary to prevent sticking.
We find that it takes twice as long for these waffles to cook than the typical white flour/egg/milk waffle. The middle will firm up nicely, just be patient!
