Instructions
- 1 Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, baking powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt. Mix well to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 3 Gradually add water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter. Adjust with more water if necessary.

- 6 Serve the waffles warm, topped with sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a squeeze of lime juice. Enjoy immediately for a vibrant and wholesome breakfast!
Serving Suggestions
- • These savory waffles pair beautifully with a side of mixed greens drizzled with a light vinaigrette, adding extra freshness and nutrients to your meal. For an additional protein boost, consider serving them alongside a poached egg or a dollop of Greek yogurt if you aren't strictly vegan. A steaming cup of herbal tea or freshly brewed coffee complements the savory flavors perfectly, making for a balanced and satisfying breakfast experience. For those who enjoy a touch of heat, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce can be added to the batter or drizzled on top before serving. This versatile dish is also fantastic with a spoonful of hummus or a few slices of your favorite smoked cheese.
Storage Tips
If you have leftover waffles, allow them to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or oven until warmed through and crisp. For longer storage, consider freezing the waffles. Wrap each individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months and reheated directly from frozen.
