Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 1/4 cup buttermilk (see notes for vegan buttermilk)
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (I used gluten-free flour blend)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Cooking spray or butter for cooking
- Optional garnish: maple syrup, chocolate sauce, berries, bananas, nut butter, yogurt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, avocado oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Whisk in almond milk.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon if using.
- Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Heat up your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with butter and pour your waffle batter in.
- Cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on how strong your waffle iron is and how dark you want the waffles to be.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter and add more oil or butter as needed.
- Serve waffles with maple syrup, chocolate sauce, berries, bananas, nut butter, or yogurt.
Notes
Buttermilk: To make dairy-free buttermilk, measure 1 cup of almond milk, remove 1 tbsp + 1 tsp, and add 1 tbsp + 1tsp of white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until slightly thicker and curdled.
Keep waffles warm: To keep your finished waffles warm while you cook the rest of the batter, preheat your oven to 150F, add the waffles to a baking sheet, and keep them in the oven until ready to eat.
Storing: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 3-6 months.
Reheat: Reheat in the oven at 300F from the fridge or freezer until warm or in a toaster.
