Place wet ingredients in the blender first: milk, coconut oil, and egg.
Add in oat flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, cacao powder, cinnamon, and maca. Turn on the blender and mix at high speed until you get a smooth batter.
Heath up your waffle maker until it’s completely HOT (the green light must be on).
Grease the waffle maker with coconut oil cooking spray or melted coconut oil using the brush.
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle maker. Close the lid and allow waffles to cook. Depending on how strong your waffle maker is, it will take 8-10 minutes.
Open the lid, remove cooked waffles from the waffle maker and place them on a cooling rack. Let them cool to room temperature.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve waffles with additional toppings.
Notes
Makes 4 waffles that serve 2 people. As a measure, I used UScup.Substitutions
You can substitute oat flour with any whole grain flour at a 1:1 ratio.
You can substitute oat milk with any milk. Coconut milk won’t work well here.
You can substitute coconut oil with avocado oil.
You can substitute maple syrup with honey or date syrup at a 1:1 ratio. Use honey in the runny form (not raw honey).
You can substitute maple syrup with liquid stevia. In that case, you may need to add more liquid into the batter - milk or water.
If you don't have maca powder at hand, you can leave it out.
MAKE IT GLUTEN-FREE: Use certified gluten-free oats/oat flour.
MAKE IT VEGAN: Swap egg with a flax or chia egg. Use non-dairy milk.
