Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp maca powder
- 1/2 tsp apple pie spice (if you add in more then it has a VERY strong taste)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 flax eggs (or normal eggs if you’re not vegan)
- 4 tbsp coconut/ almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Sweetener of choice e.g. agave, maple syrup (syrupy sweeteners not granulated to form a smoother consistency)
Method:
1 Preheat your waffle iron and coat it with vegetable oil.
2 Sift the coconut flour, maca powder, apple pie spice and baking powder into a mixing bowl, then whisk to combine.
3 Add in the flax eggs, milk, vanilla extract and sweetener, then whisk until the batter is smooth.
4 How many waffles you get will depend on your waffle iron. Mine has two square wells, so I pour 3-4tbsp of the batter onto the centre of each. Use your judgement with how your own waffle iron cooks.
5 Let the waffle iron do it’s magic and repeat with the rest of the batter until it’s gone!
6 Then top with whatever you want: melted peanut butter, chopped fruit… and enjoy!
