Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar or light brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- 1 ¼ cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 small orange
- Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (optional)
- Fresh berries (optional)
- Sliced banana (optional)
- Honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Chopped nuts or seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A little greasing with coconut oil ensures that your waffles do not stick. This step is crucial for achieving that desired golden-brown crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, ground turmeric, ground ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and cardamom. Use a whisk to combine them thoroughly, ensuring an even distribution of all the spices.
- In a separate bowl, take your unsweetened almond milk and whisk it together with the eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest until everything is nicely blended and smooth.
- Pour the smooth wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—watch out for overmixing as this can lead to dense waffles! If your batter seems too thick, feel free to add a splash more almond milk to loosen it.
- Using a ladle, pour approximately ½ to ¾ cup of the batter into the heated waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffles turn golden and crisp, this generally takes around 4–5 minutes. Remove the waffles gently and keep them warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- These waffles are best enjoyed fresh, right off the iron! Top them with Greek or coconut yogurt, fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor variation. Enjoy your warm, delicious, and nutritious anti-inflammatory turmeric waffles!
Notes
Be cautious with your waffle iron settings; if it’s too hot, the waffles may burn before cooking through. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in the toaster.
