Instructions
- Combine almond milk and vinegar in a bowl, mix, and allow it to sit for a few minutes. This will make it more of a “buttermilk”.

- Add the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well. Taste and adjust sweetness/flavor as desired.
- Preheat your waffle iron, on low if possible, and allow your batter to set in the meantime.
- Add batter to the iron, and cook according to it’s instructions. The amount of batter and cooking time will vary based on your waffle iron.
- Remove from iron, and place onto a plate/sheet in a single layer (not stacked!). If you would like to keep them warm, you can place them in a 200 F oven.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings, such as fresh fruit, berry syrup, or maple syrup.
Notes
You can freeze leftovers for a few months and warm in the toaster or oven when you want to eat them 🙂
