Waffles with Strawberry-Mint Sauce

Prep: 15 minServings: about 8 waffles

Ingredients

Waffles:

  • 150 gr spelt flour
  • 100 gr buckwheat flour
  • 50 gr brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or marrow of 1 vanilla bean)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil (liquid)
  • 200 ml oat milk (or any other plant based milk)
  • 100 ml sparkling water
  • 50 gr chocolate chips (optional)

Strawberry-Mint Sauce

  • 350 gr strawberries
  • 25 gr coconut blossom sugar
  • 2 bsp lemon juice
  • 6-10 mint leaves

Instructions

Waffles:

  1. Mix flour, sugar, vanilla, baking soda and salt in a bowl
  2. Add oil, water and milk and mix well
  3. Let dough rest for 5-10 minutes
  4. Add chocolate chips if you like
  5. Preheat the waffle iron and bake the waffles

Strawberry-mint sauce:

  1. Blend half of the strawberries with sugar and lemon juice
  2. Chop the other half of the strawberries into small cubes
  3. Slice the mint leaves and add them to the puree along with the diced strawberries

Notes

Tip from my kitchen: the sparkling water makes the waffles extra fluffy thanks to the carbonation, and if you can't find buckwheat just use 250 g spelt flour instead of the flour mix. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before baking and don't open the well-preheated waffle iron too early, or the waffles tear. Leftover waffles freeze well and crisp back up in the toaster; the fresh strawberry-mint sauce keeps about 2 days in the fridge. Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free – for a fully gluten-free version, swap the spelt for a gluten-free flour and use gluten-free baking powder.
