Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons oil avocado, sunflower, coconut, etc.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat waffle iron and spray or grease with oil if needed.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl whisk together egg, oil and sugar. Add in vanilla and milk, gently whisking to combine.
  • Mix in dry ingredients: Add in flour, sprinkle in matcha, baking powder and salt; whisk until no lumps are present. Fold in blueberries or chocolate chips if using. Depending on your flour blend you may need a touch more milk here OR a tiny bit more flour. Batter should be pourable consistency.
  • Make waffles: Use 1/4 cup to pour batter into waffle iron; cook on low-medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until waffles are lightly golden. Every waffle iron is different so cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Keep in warm oven (about 160ºF) until ready to serve. Top with fresh blueberries and maybe some melted coconut butter!

Notes

FLOUR: You can also use whole wheat white, or a combination of whole wheat with all-purpose, if not gluten free.
MIX-INS: If you don't love blueberries in waffles, feel free to omit. Chocolate chips would also be a great addition!
YIELD: Recipe yields about eight waffles that are 4", when using 1/4 cup batter per waffle. This also depends on what waffle maker you use.
FREEZING: Waffles freeze great and reheat lovely in toaster. Store in airtight container and label for 3 months.
