Matcha waffles

These delicate Matcha waffles are ideal for special breakfasts, brunches for example on Mother’s day,  birthdays, anniversaries etc. I made them using gluten-free blended flour and dairy-free milk but do use normal wheat flour  and milk if you like. I didn’t add any sugar  to the batter,  as the waffles tend to stick to the maker and I was going to serve them with a sweet syrup anyway - but if you like your waffle sweet, you can add 2-3 Tbsp sugar to the batter. Serve the waffles with your favourite sauce and topping - this can be chocolate sauce, ice cream,  custard, whipped cream, jam, fruit compote, maple syrup etc.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup self-raising gluten-free flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup almond/oat milk
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon

  3. Transfer the waffle to a plate, then make 2-3 more waffles (depending on the size/type of your waffle maker).
  4. Serve them with chocolate sauce, ice cream, whipped cream, jam, fruit compote, maple syrup etc.. whatever you fancy! Enjoy!
