Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will ensure those waffles get that perfect crispy exterior.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, nutritional yeast, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- 3
In a separate bowl, combine your flax flax egg (flaxseed meal mixed with water) and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
- 4
Once your flax flax egg is ready, add the plant-based almond milk and olive oil to it. Whisk until well combined.
- 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold them together until just combined. Don’t overmix! Fold in the fresh herbs.
- 6
Lightly grease your waffle iron with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron—about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your iron's size.
- 7
Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
- 8
Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
- 9
Serve warm, topped with your favorite toppings like avocado, sautéed greens, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
