Background

You can serve these cherry and yoghurt waffles for a weekend breakfast or as a dessert after Sunday lunch or at a garden tea party. I used my home-made spiced cherry jam but any shop-bought version would work too. Also, you can use gluten-free flour and or dairy free yogurt for this recipe - I made them with soy yogurt and gluten-free flour mixture.

Ingredients

1½ cup self raising flour (gluten-free mixture if needed)
½ cup ground almonds
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup natural yoghurt, or soya yoghurt
2 Tbsps heaped of cherry jam
Milk or plant-based milk (if needed)
1 Tbsp sunflower oil

Instructions

Mix the dried ingredients in a bowl, then add the eggs and the yoghurt. Mix until you get a thick but pourable batter. If needed, add some almond or normal milk. Stir in the oil and vanilla extract, then rest for 10 minutes.
Fold in the cherry jam, creating a marble effect.
Heat the waffle maker.
Once it’s hot, spoon in the batter and seal the top. Follow the machine instructions - it should take 3-5 minutes per waffle, depending on your machine. The waffle should be golden brown, crisp on the outside and soft inside.
Remove the waffle using tongs or a silicon palette knife, to a plate.
Make 3 or 4 more waffles (depending on the size of your machine).
Serve the waffles with fresh cherries and/or cherry jam and yoghurt or ice-cream.
