sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness with a distinct flavor.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: silken tofu

Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds ingredients effectively.

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk well to combine.

In a measuring jug, mix together 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/4 cup canola oil, 1 whole egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until blended.

Set the batter aside for 15 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.

Preheat the waffle iron and lightly oil the mold with non-stick cooking spray or oil.

Add just less than 1/2 cup of batter to the preheated waffle iron.

Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes, noting that some batter may escape.

Place the cooked waffles directly on the oven rack set to 200 degrees to keep them warm and crisp.
