Carrot Cake Waffles

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons ground flax or chia with 6 tablespoons water. Stir together and set aside to thicken.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, quinoa flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

Step 3

In a large measuring cup or medium size bowl, combine almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture into the large bowl with flour. Add the walnuts, carrots, and melted coconut oil. Stir together until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Allow batter to rest as you preheat the waffle iron. Lightly grease the iron then fill with batter. Cook until your iron says the waffles are ready, or possibly a little longer so that the waffles are golden with crisp edges. Place cooked waffles on a cooling iron as you cook the rest of the batch.

Step 6

Reheat in the toaster or oven for extra crispy edges. Serve warm with pure maple syrup and enjoy!
