Preheat waffle iron to medium temperature, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, make the flax eggs by stirring together the ground flax and water; allow to sit at least 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate smaller bowl, stir together flax eggs, almond milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the almond milk mixture into the flour mixture.
Stir until just combined (some lumps are okay).
Spoon batter onto waffle iron and close the lid. The exact amount of batter to use will vary based on the type of waffle maker you have; follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Once waffles are fully cooked, remove them from the iron and serve immediately with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
Notes
This recipe made 6 large waffles in my waffle iron, but the number of waffles you get will vary based on the size of your waffle iron.
This is a great base waffle recipe. You can experiment with variations such as adding cocoa powder for chocolate waffles, adding chopped fresh berries, or shaking in your favorite spices.
