Servings4

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp (20 g) flax seeds
• 6 tbsp (90 ml) water
• 2 cups (240 g) whole-wheat flour
• 1 tbsp (14 g) baking powder
• Heavy pinch salt
• 2 tbsp (28 g) brown sugar
• ½ tsp turmeric
• Sprinkle black pepper
• 2 tsp (6 g) cinnamon
• ⅓ cup (80 g) applesauce
• 2 cups (480 ml) vegan milk
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla
• Fresh fruit for serving
• Whipped cream for serving
• Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

• In a small bowl, mix the flax seeds and water and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
• To a medium bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, turmeric, black pepper and cinnamon and give it a good mix until well combined.
• In another medium bowl, mix the applesauce, vegan milk, vanilla and flax seed mixture until well combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients about 1 cup (240 ml) at a time and gently mix until well combined.
• Preheat a waffle iron and if it is not non-stick, coat it with some oil to keep the waffle mix from sticking.
• Pour 3⁄4 to 1 cup (180–240 ml) of the waffle mix into the waffle iron and cook until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes (or when your waffle machine alerts you that the waffle is ready). Enjoy with fruit, whipped cream and maple syrup.

Prep Time10 minutes mins

Servings8 waffles

Ingredients

For the waffle mix

• 1½ cups (350 ml) unsweetened almond or oat milk
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
• 2 apples peeled and roughly chopped
• ⅓ cup (80 ml) water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or ground cinnamon
• 2 cups (180 g) rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
• 1 tbsp (14 g) coconut oil (solid) plus more for brushing the waffle iron
• 2 tsp (10 g) baking powder

Topping suggestions

• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Orange slices
• Drizzle melted vegan dark chocolate
• Drizzle grade A maple syrup
• Vegan whipped cream

Instructions

• Pour the almond or oat milk into a small bowl and add the apple cider vinegar. Stir and set to one side.
• Place the apples in a saucepan with the water and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the apples have softened. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the base of the pan.
• Once the apples have cooked, put them in a blender with the almond/oat milk mixture and the oats, coconut oil and baking powder. Then blend until the batter is smooth.
• Heat the waffle iron and lightly brush it with coconut oil. Carefully spoon the waffle mix onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it out evenly. Close the lid and cook for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, check the waffles and, if not completely golden, cook for a further 2 minutes.
• Once the apple waffles are ready, place them on the table and let everyone help themselves to berries, orange slices, a drizzle of melted vegan chocolate or maple syrup, chocolate spread and vegan whipped cream.
