Blueberry Waffles (Vegan, Gluten-Free!)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups dairy-free milk
• 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
• 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp. lemon zest
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp. almond extract
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour*
• 1 cup almond flour (super-fine)
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, small (or wild blueberries)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Whisk and set aside.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Stir.

3. 3

   Add dry ingredients to wet, and whisk until just combined. Then gently fold in blueberries. Set batter aside to rest for a few minutes while you warm your waffle iron.

4. 4

   Preheat your waffle iron to desired setting. (I set mine medium to medium-high.)

5. 5

   Once iron is hot, use a 1/2-cup measuring cup to scoop out batter and place in the middle of the hot waffle iron. (No need to overfill it - I find it cooks better when I don't push the batter all the way to the edge.)

6. 6

   Close lid and cook waffle 6-8 minutes or until steam has completely stopped. (Try not to open the lid during cooking.)

7. 7

   Then carefully remove waffle and continue process with the remaining batter.

8. 8

   Top with fresh blueberries, lemon zest, maple syrup, or other desired toppings.
