Instructions

Preheat the Waffle Iron:

Begin by heating your waffle iron to the temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Lightly grease it with coconut oil to prevent sticking and add subtle flavor. This preparation will ensure perfectly crisp waffles.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl, combine carefully the whole wheat flour with coconut sugar baking powder baking soda sea salt turmeric ginger cinnamon black pepper and cardamom. Whisk everything together to distribute the spices and leavening evenly through the flour base.

Combine the Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk almond milk with eggs melted coconut oil vanilla extract and the fresh orange zest until the mixture is smooth and well blended. This will bring moisture and flavor to the batter.

Blend Wet into Dry:

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined taking care not to overmix. The batter should be thick but still pourable. If it feels too thick add a little more almond milk one tablespoon at a time.

Cook the Waffles:

Spoon approximately half to three quarters of a cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron for each waffle. Close the lid and cook for about four to five minutes until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron.

Serve Warm:

Carefully remove the cooked waffles and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve immediately with toppings such as Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt fresh berries sliced bananas honey or maple syrup and chopped nuts or seeds to add texture and flavor.

Turmeric is my favorite ingredient here because of how it transforms these simple waffles into something golden and healing. One winter morning, serving these with a drizzle of honey and fresh berries brought the whole family together around the table feeling warm and well nourished.

Storage Tips

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat toast them lightly in a toaster or warm them in a low oven to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving as it makes the waffles soggy. You can also freeze the cooked waffles by wrapping each one individually in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag for up to one month. Simply thaw and toast when ready to serve.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you cannot find coconut sugar use light brown sugar or regular granulated sugar for sweetness. For almond milk any other plant based milk such as oat or soy milk works well. Melted butter may replace coconut oil but will alter the flavor slightly. If fresh orange zest is unavailable a teaspoon of orange extract can be used carefully for a similar citrus note.

Serving Suggestions

These waffles pair wonderfully with a spoonful of Greek or coconut yogurt and a scattering of fresh berries like strawberries raspberries or blueberries. Add sliced banana for natural sweetness and crunch with chopped nuts such as walnuts or pistachios. A drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup completes the plate beautifully. They also make an excellent base for a savory topping like avocado and smoked salmon if you prefer a sweet savory breakfast.

Warm fragrant and nourishing these waffles are a comforting way to start the day. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings.
