Fluffy Cinnamon Chia Waffle

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup oats

• 1 tbsp chia seeds + 3 tbsp water

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• ½ tsp baking powder

• 1 cup oat milk

• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

• 1 banana

• 1+ tbsp maple syrup

*Note: If you are not using oat milk for this recipe, I would suggest adding in 1-2 tsp of sugar of your choice into the waffle batter as oat milk is sweeter

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare your chia “egg” by mixing 1 tbsp chia seeds with 3 tbsp water. Set Aside. 2. Make your oat flour by blending 1 cup of oats in a blender until a uniform powder is formed. 3. In a large bowl, combine the oat milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit 5 minutes. 4. Add the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and chia egg to the bowl. Mix well. 5. Pour into a waffle maker heated up to medium heat, and bake for ~5 min or until the waffle maker opens easily and the edges are crispy (this took two “normal” cycles of my waffle maker timer). 6. Top with banana and maple syrup, or whatever toppings you have on hand. Enjoy!

*Notes: - This batter will thicken over time, so in order to keep it runny enough you may need to add water or more plant milk in 1 tbsp increments - If you do not have a waffle maker, you could use this to make pancakes instead!
