I love serving these waffles with yogurt and a side salad. I have found that this recipe works really well with goat cheddar, but if you can’t tolerate dairy you can omit the cheese altogether.

Ingredients

flax seeds, ground		½ cup
eggs		2
avocado oil (or other light oil)		1 tbsp
almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)		3 tbsp
baking soda		½ tsp
lemon juice		1 tsp
sweetener of choice: honey or maple syrup (optional)		1 tbsp
fresh herbs: any mix of chives, basil, mint fresh*		¼ cup
olive oil		for cooking
cheese, grated		½ cup

Directions:

Turn on the waffle maker.
Measure ½ cup of ground flax seed meal. If starting with whole flax seeds, grind them in a coffee grinder first, then measure ½ cup.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Add in the grated cheese (*see recipe notes) and chopped herbs last.
Grease waffle maker. Spoon batter into the waffle maker, or pancake batter onto the frying pan. This recipe will make approximately 6 small waffles. If the batter seems “thick” it should spread out fine when waffles cook.
Cook waffles according to waffle iron instructions.
Serve savory waffles with yogurt and a side salad.
