- 2 cups spelt flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Coconut yogurt, for topping
- Fresh fruit, for topping (e.g., berries, bananas, or apples)
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Once the waffle iron is hot, lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil or non-stick spray.
- Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron) and close the lid.
- Cook the waffles for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the waffles topped with a generous dollop of coconut yogurt and fresh fruit.
For extra fluffy waffles, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a flavorful twist.
If you’re new to making waffles, don’t worry if the first couple of batches aren’t perfect—practice makes perfect. Be patient and adjust the amount of batter accordingly.
Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. To reheat, pop them in the toaster or oven until they are warm and crispy again.
As a variation, try substituting the coconut yogurt with Greek yogurt if you are not following a vegan diet, or switch up the fresh fruit toppings with whatever is in season.
These waffles pair wonderfully with a warm cup of chai tea or a freshly brewed pot of coffee. Serve alongside scrambled eggs or a lightly-dressed green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
