Crunchy Seed Waffles with Almond Butter "Syrup"
Servings: 4 square waffles

Waffles:

2 cups of a variety of seeds, nut/seed meals, gluten free grains/flours (feel free to make substitutions based on what you have around!)
I used:
1/4 cup of mixture of organic sprouted sunflower & pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup of organic unsweetened shredded coconut 
1/4 cup organic flax meal 
1/8 cup of organic hemp seeds
1/8 cup of organic chia seeds
1/2 cup of organic millet 
1/2 cup of organic buckwheat flour (or any gluten-free flour of choice)

1/2 tsp of organic vanilla powder (or 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract)
1 & 1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of Himalayan salt (or sea salt/kosher salt)
1 packet of organic stevia
1/4 tsp of organic ground cinnamon
*SECRET INGREDIENT* - A few dashes of organic ground cardamom

2 Tbsp of organic coconut oil (melted)
Almond milk - start with about 1 cup (It will depend what kind of seeds you used to how much liquid you need - after your first blend, you can begin to add more - you are looking for a pancake/waffle type batter consistency)

1/2 cup of organic chopped nuts - chopped (I used sprouted almonds)

Almond Butter "Syrup": Combine 2 Tbsp of raw organic almond butter with 1 Tbsp of organic macadamia oil

Directions:
Preheat your waffle iron.
Combine all ingredients (except chopped nuts) in a high powered blender (such as a VitaMix - you know I'm obsessed with mine!!) then blend. Add in slow increments of more milk from there, blending each time, until desired consistency is reached. Lastly, fold in your chopped nuts to the batter.
Once your waffle iron is heated, grease it with coconut oil then pour batter in, close the iron and let it do it's thang!
Cooking time will depend on your iron but you are of course looking for that golden brown crunchy exterior.
Once the waffle is cooked, remove it from the iron, put on a plate and drizzle with your almond butter syrup and sprinkle with more cinnamon.


I think you will REALLY enjoy these ;)
