Ingredients
 
 

  • 275 g plain flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • tsp salt
  • 75 g maple syrup (or 60g coconut nectar / granulated sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200 g dairy free milk (at room temperature)
  • 75 g chocolate chips (vegan / dairy free)
  • 75 g coconut oil (melted and at room temperature)

Equipment

  • Waffle Maker

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your waffle maker on medium/high and carefully grease the surface of the heat plates with a little spray oil or melted coconut oil.
  • In a medium/large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
    275 g plain flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/8 tsp salt
  • Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, maple syrup and room temperature milk to the mixing bowl. Whisk gently until JUST combined into a batter that is relatively thick. Stir in the chocolate chips.
    75 g maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 200 g dairy free milk, 75 g coconut oil, 75 g chocolate chips
  • If your waffle maker makes 1 large round waffle (20cm/8”) at a time, add 1/2 of the batter into the centre of the plate.
    If your waffle maker makes 2 smaller square waffles (10cm/4” each), add 1/4 of the batter into the centre of each square.
  • Close the lid gently so that the batter spreads out a little (it doesn’t need to come right to the edge). Be careful not to press the lid down too firmly, otherwise some of the batter could spill out of the sides.
  • Cook until the waffle maker has stopped letting off steam. If there is steam, the waffles are still cooking so don’t open the lid! This should take between 5-7 minutes for 1 large waffle, or slightly less for the smaller square waffles.
    The waffles should be cooked when they have a light golden colour and you can lift them easily from the surface of the waffle maker, without them sticking.
    Note: Baked goods that use coconut oil will not go as golden as those that use melted butter. Be careful not to overcook the waffles as this can dry them out.
  • Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle maker using a silicone kitchen utensil. Keep the cooked waffles warm in a toaster oven/warm oven whilst you cook the remaining batter, or if you like extra crispy edges, let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
  • Serve with toppings of your choice - sliced banana, chocolate sauce, whipped dairy free cream, fresh berries and icing sugar are all delicious additions!
