Healthy Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles
Healthy Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles have a slightly sweet, tangy and refreshing taste with a subtle crunch from the poppy seeds! In comparison with the traditional Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles recipe, this one consists of healthy ingredients, doesn't contain refined sugar and can be a healthy breakfast option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- ⅓ cup rice flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp poppy seeds
- 1 egg
- ½ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt 1§
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, rice flour, baking powder and poppy seeds (see notes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Spray the waffle maker with cooking spray, then scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each section of the waffle maker. Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
You can use only oat flour or only rice flour in the recipe. I like the mixture, but it's ok to use only one type as well.
