INGREDIENTS

• • 1 cup Regular or GF Flour of choice
    • I used a homemade GF Blend. Learn how to make here!
  • 1 cup Regular or GF Sourdough Starter – active or unfed/discard
  • 3/4 – 1 cup Milk of choice (a bit more if it’s a heavier/denser flour)
  • 2 tbsp Raw Cane Sugar
    • However, any mineral rich sugar will work – honey, maple syrup, coconut, panela, etc.
  • 2 Free Range Eggs
    • Mix 2 tbsp ground flax with 4 tbsp water for flax egg alternative
  • 3 – 4 tbsp melted Butter / Ghee or Coconut Oil (a bit more for heavier/denser flour)
    • Use a brush coated with oil to coat the pan or waffle iron.
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
    • 1 – 2 tsp cinnamon or spices (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan or Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1. Start heating pan to medium heat or plug in the waffle iron to start warming.
   2. Mix all ingredients together in a medium – large mixing bowl, making sure not to over mix. If there are a few clumps that’s okay!
   3. Oil the pan/iron and pour your desired sized pancakes or waffles! I find for big fluffy but crisp waffles I add almost a cup of batter and let cook for about 5-10min depending on the heat. For pancakes I pour about 1/3 cup of  batter to make small – medium size pancakes. I cook them over medium heat for about 2 – 3 minutes per side or until bubbles are popping through and the bottom is golden brown.

NOTES

• • Topping Suggestions: This is where it can get SUPER nutrient dense, creative and fun! Eat what is in season: fruit, nuts, dried fruit, jam, nut butter, spices/herbs or make your own berry sauces, whip cream or own creation! Perhaps Chicken & Waffles is more your style?! Or savoury Pancakes with Cheese & Herbs?
  • Pre-Make: Pour leftover or extra batter into a reusable glass container and store in the fridge for 3 – 5 days and use whenever! OR cook up your whole batch and store the cooked waffles/pancakes in the fridge for up to 7 days and in the freezer for about 1-3 months (for optimal taste./quality).
  • Ways to Use: Replace the flour with Protein Powder OR do a 50/50 ratio to increase the nutritional value of your meals. Use these for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, Post-Workout Meal or even Dessert!
