Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (180 g) whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar or light brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom (optional)
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs (or flaxseed eggs: 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 5 tbsp water)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) melted coconut oil (plus extra for greasing)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 small orange (optional)
- Optional toppings: Greek or coconut yogurt, fresh berries, sliced banana, honey or maple syrup, chopped nuts or seeds
Instructions
- Step 1
- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturers instructions and lightly grease with coconut oil.
- Step 2
- In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients: flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and cardamom.
- Step 3
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, eggs (or flax eggs), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest.
- Step 4
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable—add a splash more milk if needed.
- Step 5
- Ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron (about ½ to ¾ cup per waffle, depending on your iron). Cook according to your waffle irons instructions, usually 4–5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Step 6
- Remove waffles and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Step 7
- Serve hot, topped with yogurt, fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or syrup, and nuts or seeds as desired.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure your waffles are as fluffy as possible, avoid overworking the batter once you combine the wet and dry ingredients. A few lumps are perfectly fine. Make sure your coconut oil is melted but not boiling hot when adding it to the eggs and milk to avoid curdling the mixture. If you want extra crispiness, you can place the finished waffles on a wire rack in a low oven (about 100°C) while you finish the rest of the batch.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a vegan version, simply swap the eggs for flaxseed eggs and use a plant-based yogurt for serving. If you have a nut allergy, oat milk or soy milk work perfectly as a substitute for almond milk. For added texture and a boost of healthy fats, try folding in 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter before cooking.
Serviervorschläge
Serve these waffles warm with a generous dollop of Greek or coconut yogurt to balance the warming spices. Top with a handful of fresh blueberries or sliced bananas and a drizzle of raw honey. For a complete wellness experience, enjoy these waffles alongside a warm cup of chai tea or a creamy golden milk latte.
