  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon *optional

  • Combine the ground flaxseed, sugar substitute, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, if using, in a medium bowl. Mix well.

  • Whisk together, then gradually whisk in the milk, pulling the flaxseed mixture in as well until everything is just wet.
  • Allow the batter to rest and thicken for just a few minutes, while you preheat your waffle maker to medium heat.
  • Spread the batter evenly on the waffle maker and close the lid.
  • Cook until the time is up or the waffles are crisp on the edges - up to 10 minutes.

Notes

Tips and Techniques for the Best Flaxseed Waffles

  • From a nutritional standpoint, it’s best to grind flaxseed immediately before using it.
  • If your batter thickens too much, add milk very gradually to get it back to a thicker, but pourable consistency.
  • Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. Use within 2-3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
