Spelt Belgian waffles
Spelt Belgian waffles
Yields : 5 waffles
Steps
1¼ cups plant-based milk
1 cup plain plant-based yogurt or ½ to ¾ cup more milk
½ cup aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas – salt-free)[i]
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups spelt flour
Steps
Plug in waffle maker to preheat.
Pour aquafaba in a bowl, whip with a whisk until it is frothy.
Add the milk, yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla to the bowl. Stir until well combined. Add the baking powder, salt and flour. Mix until smooth.
Follow your waffle maker’s instructions. I I brush both sides of the hot waffle iron with a little coconut oiI before pouring the batter.
In my 7-inch Belgian waffle maker, I use about ¾ cup of batter per waffle. The most important thing is not to open the waffle maker too soon. It takes 5-6 minutes to cook until crispy. Serve with your favorite toppings.
[i] Whenever I open a can of chickpeas, I drain the liquid and freeze it in premeasured amounts. Three tablespoons of aquafaba equals 1 egg. There is approximately ⅔ cup of aquafaba in each can of chickpeas.
