Hearty Buckwheat Waffles with Strawberries [Vegan]

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, plus 1 tablespoon for the waffle iron
• 1 1/2 cups Almond Milk
• 1 1/3 cups buckwheat flour
• 3 tablespoons cacao powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 vanilla pod (bean), scraped, or 1/2 teaspoon ground vanilla pod
• pinch of salt

To serve:

•  1 cup Coconut Yogurt, shop-bought or home-made
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus extra for drizzling
• 1/2 vanilla pod (bean), scraped, or 1/2 teaspoon ground vanilla pod
• handful of fresh fruit (strawberries)
• micro herbs and edible flowers (optional)

Preparation

1. Start by heating the coconut oil in a pan on medium heat with the almond milk.
2. Place all the remaining waffle ingredients, including the melted coconut oil and almond milk, into a bowl and mix well.
3. Heat up the waffle iron and dab or brush with coconut oil. This recipe used the small waffle iron where the waffles come out looking like a four-leaf clover. Ladle some of the batter mixture into the iron and cook until super crispy.
4. While the waffles are cooking, pimp up the coconut yogurt with lemon zest, maple syrup and the vanilla, stirring to combine.
5. Once the waffles have been cooked, serve with a dollop of the coconut yogurt, fruits, micro herbs and edible flowers, if using, and drizzle with maple syrup.
