Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Matcha Spice Waffles

Matcha is an amazing superfood to add to your diet. When it comes to health benefits, matcha contains antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that deliver health benefits no other food, drink, or traditional green tea can. There are so many ways to add matcha to your diet other than as a drink in the morning.

It is important when you are choosing a matcha powder that you opt for the ceremonial grade in order to get all the nutritional benefits.

Gluten-free waffles can be tricky- it is hard to get that light fluffy texture that makes a traditional Belgian waffle so good. The texture of these waffles however is amazing! Plus the almond flour and protein powder add some extra protein to level your blood sugar spike and keep you fuller longer.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs (or sub flax eggs) (i like to use 2 eggs and 2 flax eggs for the best texture)
• 2 flax eggs (1 tbsp flax seeds w/ 2 tbsp water per egg)
• 1 cup dairy-free milk of choice ( I like elmhurst)
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/3 cup avocado oil or coconut oil
• ½ tbsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup super-fine Almond Flour
• 1 - 1/4 cup tapioca flour or gluten-free flour of choice
• 1/4 cup Protein Powder
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 heaping tbsp of matcha powder

Optional Toppings

• 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
• Maple Syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat your waffle maker
2. In a medium bowl, combine flaxseeds with water and set to the side.
3. In a small bowl, combine the almond flour and gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, matcha powder, and cinnamon, whisk gently until combined.
4. In the bowl with the thickened water and flax combination—add 2 eggs, milk, maple syrup, oil, vinegar, and vanilla and stir until well combined
5. Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until combined. The consistency will differ based on what flour you use. If it is too thick, add more milk a little at a time. If it is too thin, add flour a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
6. Brush the waffle iron with coconut oil and add batter to the iron and cook according to the waffle iron instructions.
7. Drizzle with Maple Syrup and serve warm or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze leftovers and toast them in the morning for a quick and healthy breakfast.
