2 cups
oat flour (if you do not have oat flour, you can simply grind your own oats in a blender)
3 tablespoons
cocoa powder
2 teaspoons
sea salt
2
preferably organic (it makes a huge difference!)
1.5 cups
mylk (alternative milk of your choice)
2 tablespoons
coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons
natural peanut butter
3 tablespoons
maple syrup
3 tablespoons
cacao nibs or semisweet dark chocolate chips/pieces (optional)
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: oat flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
Make a well in the centre and add in the wet ingredients: eggs, mylk, coconut oil, vanilla, peanut butter, and maple syrup. Whisk together until batter is smooth. Sprinkle in cacao nibs. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow grains to absorb liquid (this will make for fluffier waffles).
Lightly grease waffle pan with coconut oil and heat up waffle iron.
With a spoon or ladle, mix the batter once more. Ladle batter into hot waffle iron, then close. Cook for 2-3 minutes (as per instructions of your iron). Ideal consistency: crispy outer layer and a moist, chocolatey inner layer.
Top with Fancy Pufs (I'd suggest Vanilla or Salted Caramel)
I used 2 eggs and 2 tsp of baking powder (as a wild guess) and they turned out...I also used 1/2 spelt and 1/2 regular all purpose flour and left out the cocoa nibs, so whether I "actually" used this recipe or spun off it is debatable. I couldn't taste the peanut butter, but we used peanut butter on top, so that equalled out. Maybe if you used more peanut butter in place of the melted coconut oil? It solidifies as soon as it hits the other cold ingredients anyways, so probably not a bad plan! I'd repeat my version of this in a heartbeat, so there's that! :)
