Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sourdough discard unfed
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk or regular milk
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil melted and cooled, or avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Waffle maker
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, gluten-free flour, coconut milk, and beaten eggs. Mix well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Stir in the melted coconut oil and honey. If using ground cinnamon, add it at this stage. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, sea salt, and any remaining flour. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Turn on your waffle maker and let it preheat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  6. Once preheated, pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle maker (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your machine). Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, typically for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Carefully remove the waffles and serve them warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Try making a double batch and freezing extras for quick breakfasts during busy mornings.
  • If you prefer a crispier waffle, cook them a little longer until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
  • Mix in different flavors of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or peanut butter chips, for a fun twist.
