Ingredients

For the waffles:

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk
  • 6 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the strawberry sauce:

  • 1 lb bag frozen strawberries thawed in the fridge (still slightly frozen is okay)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp cold water

Instructions

  • Make strawberry sauce for waffles. Add frozen strawberries, sugar and lemon juice to the pan and heat over medium until the strawberries start to soften and create liquid.
    In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Add to the pan and stir to combine. Simmer until the strawberries break down and the sauce that forms has thickened.
    Remove from heat and set aside for serving.
  • Preheat your waffle iron. Following the instructions provided with your machine, preheat the waffle maker to ensure that it is fully heated when you're ready to cook the waffles.
  • Mix your batter. In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients together. Then, add the milk, canola oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in your wet ingredients and whisk until smooth. Some small lumps in the batter are ok.
  • Waffle your batter. Prepare waffles according to waffle maker directions, using about 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle.*
    Be sure not to open the machine while the waffles cook. If they aren’t crispy on the top when the machine beeps, leave them in a little bit longer.
    Repeat as needed until all the batter as been cooked.
  • Serve waffles as desired with strawberry sauce and/or maple syrup.

Notes

*amount will vary by waffle iron.
