Feel free to experiment w/ proportions... I haven't noticed a big impact either way w/ these.<br><br>3: Eggs<br>1 egg for each cup of Base.<br><br>4: Liquids<br>Here you can get really creative... rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, cow milk, applesauce, yogurt, cream, buttermilk, apple juice... sky's the limit, really.<br><br>That said...<br><br><b>Here's my favorite way to make it:</b><br><br>1 ½ cups of coconut and buckwheat (ground up together)<br>½ cup almond meal, with a little pecans thrown in, and maybe a little whole wheat flour<br>pinch of salt<br>cinnamon<br>2 eggs<br>a big splash of coconut milk<br>another big shot of applesauce<br>rice milk until the consistency is right<br><br>Obviously, I don't measure much... and if the kids want waffles sometimes, I just make it a bit runnier. </p><p> </p><p><font style="font-weight: bold;">Last, but not least:</font></p><p> </p><p>Top it with whatever you want - butter, honey, jam, syrup, apples, coconut syrup... have fun! </p><p> </p><p><font class="size_1">(Image via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/digiyesica/277120166/" target="_blank" mce_href="http://flickr.com/photos/digiyesica/277120166/">digiyesica</a> on Flickr)</font></p><p> </p>
