Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice (almond milk recommended)
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or half all-purpose and half whole wheat flour)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Add-ins
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, avocado oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
- Add Eggs: Whisk in the 2 large eggs until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Some lumps are okay to ensure waffles remain fluffy.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter. Set the batter aside to rest for about 5 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: While the batter rests, preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Cook Waffles: Once preheated, lightly spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour approximately ½ cup of batter per waffle well. Cook the waffles for about 4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, following your waffle maker’s instructions.
- Serve: Remove waffles carefully and serve hot with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or butter.
Notes
- For best results, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to help the flour hydrate and ensure fluffier waffles.
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice including dairy milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
- Adjust the cook time depending on your waffle maker’s settings and desired crispness.
- Use whole wheat pastry flour for a tender texture; if unavailable, a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat flour can be used.
- Store leftover waffles in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
