Ingredients

• 0.25 cups Flaxseed meal
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 tablespoons Sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Oil or melted butter
• 0 as needed Cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal, flour, baking powder, sugar (if using), and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and oil or melted butter.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Scoop an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's capacity), spreading it out slightly if needed.

Step 7

Close the lid and cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp. This typically takes 4-6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.

Step 8

Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
