6 tbsp. warm water

1 oz. (30g) coconut flour

4.2 oz. (120g) oat flour

1.8 oz. (50g) unsweetened

1½ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. ground cinnamon

What you need to do

Turn on the waffle-iron and let it heat up.

Whisk together the chia and water to make a chia egg and set aside for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

Melt the coconut oil and combine with the vanilla extract, maple syrup and coconut milk. Mix in the chia egg.

Fold the wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to form a thick waffle batter.

Grease the waffle iron with coconut oil. Ladle in enough batter to just cover the surface. Cook the waffles following the manufacturer's instructions, usually 5-6 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

This recipe makes around 6 large waffles, allowing 1 waffle per serving.
