- Open heated waffle maker and spray the plates (top & bottom) with nonstick cooking spray. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP.
- Spoon batter on the plates of the waffle maker (if using a large, 4-waffle maker, use 1/4 of the batter for each waffle; for a smaller round maker, spoon in 1/2 of the batter).
- Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter evenly over the plate(s).
- Close the lid and cook the waffles for 14 to 16 minutes (ignore the timer on the waffle maker! Set a separate timer).
- Open the waffle maker and remove the waffles. Serve immediatley with your favorite toppings or cool and store (see notes below).
Notes
Storage: Store the cooled waffles in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 1 day, the refrigerator for 5 days, or the freezer for up 3 months.
Flaxseed Meal Tips: Be sure to use fresh flaxseed meal; it should not have any smell. Golden or regular flaxseed meal can be used, but the former has a much lighter flavor.
Do Not Add Sugar to Recipe: Do not add sugar or sweetners to the recipe. The long slow cooking can lead to scorching if sugars are added.
