Vegan Whole Grain Waffles with Roasted Stone Fruit
Simple whole grain vegan waffles made with almond meal and whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened with sucanat and a touch of molasses. Hearty, wholesome, and delicious, and just 1 bowl required.
Servings 3 (waffles)
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp flaxseed meal (to make flax egg)
- 2 ½ Tbsp water (to make flax egg)
- 1 Tbsp molasses
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (or sub a little extra almond milk)
- 1 Tbsp avocado or coconut oil
- 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 3 Tbsp sucanat (or sub brown sugar)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or sub a gluten free blend at your discretion)
- 1/4 cup almond meal or oat flour
- Optional for topping: stone fruit of choice, almond butter, maple syrup
Instructions
- If roasting stone fruit, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and slice fruit into thin wedges. Place on a baking sheet with 1 tsp of coconut or olive oil and toss with a touch of turbinado or granulated sugar (optional). Roast for 15-20 minutes or until soft and juicy. Cover with foil until serving. Set aside.
- For the waffles: In a large bowl, prepare flax egg by combining flaxseed meal and water and letting it rest for 5 minutes to achieve an "eggy" texture.
- Add the molasses, applesauce, oil, sucanat, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and whisk. Add almond milk and stir once more.
- Next add flour and almond meal and whisk gently until just combined. Let batter rest while preheating your waffle iron, preferably to a high "crispy" setting.
- Once preheated, generously spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and spoon about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the center of the iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Once done, place on a cooling rack briefly to let steam roll off and crisp up a bit. Then transfer to serving plates in a 200-degree F (93 C) oven. Serve warm with almond butter, roasted stone fruit and maple syrup, or whatever toppings you desire.
