• Tapioca flour (or arrowroot flour): 1 tbsp (8 g)

• Unsweetened plant-based milk: 3 tbsp (45 ml; almond, oat, or coconut milk)

• Flaxseed meal: 1 tbsp (for a flax egg: mix with 2.5 tbsp water and let sit for 5 minutes)

• Baking powder: 1/4 tsp

• Vanilla extract: 1/4 tsp (optional)

• Cinnamon powder: A pinch (optional)

• Salt: A pinch

Serving Size:

1 serving (2 small waffles)

Method:

1. Prepare the Flax Egg:

   • In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp flaxseed meal with 2.5 tbsp water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients:

   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, and salt.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, combine the prepared flax egg, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until smooth.

4. Make the Batter:

   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes.

5. Cook the Waffles:

   • Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or coconut oil if not non-stick.

   • Pour the batter into the waffle iron and spread evenly. Close the waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:

   • Serve warm with your favorite sugar-free toppings, such as fresh berries, unsweetened nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
