Super Seed Buckwheat Waffles (gluten-free, vegan)

Buckwheat waffles are made from buckwheat flour and several different seeds. They’re gluten-free, vegan, healthy and amazingly delicious. A great way to switch up your breakfast routine.

Buckwheat Waffles

I can’t believe that this time last year instead of wandering vibrant, hilly streets of downtown Lisbon I was hopping on my motorbike to explore the hidden, glistening beaches of the Bukit Peninsula in Bali. Postcard-perfect beaches with world-famous surf breaks (and hardly a tourist in sight!).

Please, someone tell me how does a year fly by so quickly?! I mention in Roaming Free how sights, smells and taste greatly impact our memories of travel…and with Portugal it’s all about fresh seafood. But when I was in Uluwatu, on the Bukit Penninsula, one of the best meals I had was in a cozy, surfer-vibe cafe called Land’s End. The name? Oh, quite fitting if you look on a map.

So in the middle of nowhere, I find this cafe serving up nourishing, organic, healthy food (think: fresh juices, fruit salads, pitaya smoothie bowls, etc). And I know for sure I’ve hit the jackpot. But one item on the menu caught my attention. A gluten-free super waffle!

Buckwheat Waffle Ingredients

Made from only ground seeds, buckwheat flour and coconut water, the super waffle was hearty, filling and energizing. I don’t think I even ate lunch that day because it was sooo filling (which is why the surfers all love it!). The original was served up with with fresh fruit and a little Javanese honey on the side (here’s my Instagram pic).

So when All Clad sent me their classic waffle maker the first waffle that popped in my mind that I knew I had to make was the super waffle. My version is a combination of buckwheat flour, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and flaxseed. Gluten-free goodness. It’s dairy-free as the only liquids are coconut water and coconut oil and yes, shockingly, it’s nut-free as it’s just seeds my friends.

Mix the ingredients all together, ladle it into a classic waffle maker (*note – I’m not sure how this recipe would work with a Belgian waffle maker) and you’ve got a delicious and nutritious breakfast. Don’t forget to serve these buckwheat waffles with tons of fresh fruit…Bali-style. Enjoy!
