This recipe will make your house smell amazing!
I have a waffle iron that makes 1 big waffle that can be cut into 5 small hearts. This recipe makes 6 large waffles (30 small hearts).
Ingredients
2 cups wholemeal flour *
2 cups plant milk- I use soy milk
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoon oil (neutral such as canola or rice bran) + a little extra to brush on waffle iron
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Optional: 1 cup chocolate chips
*For a lighter waffle you can use 1 cup white flour and 1 cup wholemeal but you will need to reduce the milk to around 1 1/2 cups to keep the batter a similar consistency.
Heat waffle iron while you make batter.
In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients- flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt. In a small bowl combine plant milk and apple cider vinegar - this should become thickened when you do this. Add maple syrup, oil and vanilla to milk and stir. Add wet ingredients to dry and combine. Your batter should be like a thick cake mixture. Lightly brush a waffle iron with oil using a pastry brush and add a small amount of waffle mixture (for mine I use 1/2 a cup per large waffle). Cook according to your waffle iron instructions. Serve drizzled with maple syrup and your favorite fruit and yogurt.
Waffle iron trouble shooting: To avoid waffles sticking make sure you have given your waffle iron plenty of time to heat up. The batter should be nice and thick and your waffle iron clean and lightly oiled.
