Equipment

  • waffle maker

Ingredients

For waffles:

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp ground flax seed
  • 6 Tbsp warm water
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened plant milk
  • 3 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce

For syrup:

  • 2 cups frozen cherries dark cherries are sweeter than red
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Combine ground flaxseed and warm water in a small bowl. Let rest for 5-15 minutes to thicken and set to make "flaxseed egg".
  • While the flaxseed egg is setting, combine the rest of the waffle ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined. When the "egg" is ready, mix it in as well. Make sure to add a dash more plant milk as need to get the right texture. The batter should be thick but not too dry.
  • While the egg is setting, you will also have time to get the syrup done. Combine all the syrup ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer on medium-low heat for a few minutes to reduce a little.
  • Heat waffle maker to high. Pour 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of waffle batter into waffle maker, depending on your waffle maker, and cook for two minutes or so, as you would regular waffles.
  • The waffle may stick when you remove it, so use a flat knife to pop it out of the waffle maker. Pour the syrup over cooked waffles and serve.

Notes

This can be made ahead, frozen and reheated in a toaster!
