Directions
Preheat your waffle iron while you get the batter ready. In a small bowl, mix the water and flax seed meal together and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. Meanwhile, pulse the oats in a blender until they reach a fine, flour-like texture. Add the flax mixture, soy milk, both flours, canola oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, agave nectar, and a pinch of salt to the blender. Blend everything just until the batter comes together—don’t overmix. Once your waffle iron is hot, pour about half a cup of batter onto it and cook according to your machine’s instructions, usually around five minutes, until the waffles are nicely golden and crisp. Serve warm and enjoy!
Serving Guide
Serve warm with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of dairy-free yogurt. They also pair well with nut butters or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a sweet touch. Great alongside a smoothie or plant-based bacon for a complete meal.
Storage Tips
Let the waffles cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container or freezer bag in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven to restore crispiness.
