For anyone with a waffle iron, this is a great way to healthify your Sunday brunch. Make them plain for sweet toppings, or try the variation with pureed spinach and top with fresh or roasted veggies.

Ingredients

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
3 Tbsp flaxseed, ground
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients together. Lightly grease and warm your waffle iron, then pour the batter on to cook. Allow the waffle to cook fully, then remove it from the iron.
Put the fresh waffle on a cooling rack for a few seconds to allow the steam to come off, then transfer to a serving plate.
Serve topped with sliced banana, berries, and/or maple syrup.

Notes

For Spinach Waffles:

Puree a handful of spinach with 1/2 cup of the 1 cup of water or milk for the recipe. Add this to the batter and cook as per above. Top with sliced tomato, sprouts and chopped avocado.
