Ingredients
Scale
Waffles
- 3/4 cup white flour
- 1/4 cup spelt flour
- 1/4 cup + 1 T brown sugar
- 1/2 T baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup nut milk
- 2 T molasses
- 1 T canola or grapeseed oil
Roasted pears
- 2 pears, halved and cored
- 1 T coconut oil, melted
- 3 T maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- seeds from half a pomegranate
- extra maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Start by preparing the roasted pears. Preheat the oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla in a medium size bowl. Slice each pear half into roughly 4 slices and gently toss in the syrup, evenly coating each piece.
- Lay the pieces skin side down onto the parchment paper. Roast for 5 minutes. Flip the pieces so the flesh is now facing down, and continue roasting for 10-15 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
- Now, onto the waffles.
- Combine, and whisk the dry ingredients in medium size bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Pour the wet over the dry, and mix to incorporate, removing any lumps if need be.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes while the waffle iron heats up. I use about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle.
- Serve warm with 3-4 pear slices, a heaping spoon of pomegranate seeds, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
