Cooking Tips
- Make it Dairy-Free: Use a plant-based yogurt (like coconut or almond yogurt) to make it dairy-free.
- Customize Consistency: Batter should be thick but pourable—add more almond milk if too thick.
- Freeze for Meal Prep: Make a batch and freeze; reheat in a toaster for a quick, diabetes-friendly breakfast.
- Waffle Iron Care: Always preheat and lightly grease to avoid sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Boost Flavour Without Sugar: Add nutmeg, cardamom, or citrus zest to deepen flavour without raising carbs.
- Topping Ideas: Use low-GI toppings like Greek yogurt, almond butter, or fresh berries instead of syrup.
