Waffle Mix

1. Make the Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Store in an airtight container if making ahead.
2. Prepare the Batter: In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water and let sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flax eggs, dairy-free milk, vanilla extract, and either applesauce or oil. Add the dry mix and stir until just combined (some lumps are okay).
3. Cook the Waffles: Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease it if needed. Pour batter into the waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown.
4. Serve: Enjoy warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings!

Flour Variations

Gluten-Free Option

Use 6 cups gluten-free 1:1 flour blend (with xanthan gum). If your blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum, add 1½ tsp xanthan gum to the dry mix.

Whole Wheat Option

Use 3 cups whole wheat flour + 3 cups all-purpose flour for a balance of heartiness and fluffiness.

• If you want 100% whole wheat waffles, use 6 cups whole wheat flour, but increase the dairy-free milk to 5½ – 5¾ cups for moisture.

Flax Egg Alternative

Instead of flax eggs, you can use:

• Chia eggs (6 tbsp chia seeds + 1 cup water, let gel for 5 minutes)
• Mashed banana (¾ cup for a slightly sweet flavor)
