Ingredients

2 ½ tablespoons of warm water
1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds
1 ¾ cups of vanilla plant-based milk (plain or chocolate will work)
⅓ cup of vegetable oil
1 honeycrisp apple cored and grated or finely diced, moisture pressed out with a napkin

1 tablespoon of brown sugar , or coconut suga
3 teaspoons of baking powder
¼ teaspoon of salt
1 ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

Instructions

Turn on your waffle iron.
In a small bowl, whisk together the warm water and ground flax seeds until thoroughly combined. Set aside for 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, grated apple, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, both sugars, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the vegan milk mixture and flax mixture. Whisk gently, just until combined. Make sure to not overmix.
Scoop the desired amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Follow your waffle iron instructions to cook. Repeat with the remaining batter until all the waffles are cooked.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter: Otherwise, the waffles become dense and rubbery. If you fear it’s overmixed, let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Preheat the waffle iron: For evenly cooked cinnamon apple waffles with crispy edges.

Don’t overfill the waffle maker: Cover about ¾ of the surface area – it will spread when closed. Too much, and it overflows, causing a huge mess.

For the crispiest waffles: Toast the cooked waffles for a few minutes before serving. This works perfectly when making a large batch.
