Waffles are seriously my favorite breakfast food ever. And if I had to choose between waffles and pancakes… is that even a choice? 🧇🍓
Ingredients in the Buckwheat Waffle
- milk – any dairy-free milk (or regular milk) will work here!
- maple syrup – you can add a little bit of maple syrup to make it sweeter
- seeds – I use a combination of pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and sunflower seeds to add a boost of plant-based protein and some texture variation! You could use hemp seeds, flax seeds, chia seed, etc.
- buckwheat – it’s naturally wheat and gluten-free. It’s also higher in protein than wheat, corn, rice and millet!
- optional toppings – banana slices, strawberries, maple syrup, chocolate chips, etc.
