Superfood Waffles (Chia, Quinoa, etc.)
The concept of superfoods has exploded into public awareness in recent years, referring to foods that are exceptionally high in nutrients. Chia and quinoa are two such ingredients, and now they come to life in waffle form as part of a nutritious yet delicious breakfast or snack. As the waffle bakes, subtle nutty and sweet aromas mingle in the kitchen. The natural sweetness of the banana, the freshness of the blueberries, and the crunchiness of the almonds perfectly complement the healthy base. It's the perfect choice for those who want to incorporate not only energy but also nutritional value into their breakfast. Tip: For a vegan version of the recipe, use a plant-based egg replacement or additional chia seeds.

Preparation Steps
1
Combine the chia seeds with 4 tbsp of water and let it sit for 10 minutes, until it reaches a gel-like consistency. Tip: This chia mixture acts as an egg replacement and enriches the waffle with fiber.
2
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and honey. Add the gelled chia mixture. Tip: Use room-temperature ingredients for easier blending.
3
Add the flour, baking powder, and cooked quinoa, then mix until smooth. Tip: Ensure the quinoa is completely cooled; otherwise, it will over-soften the batter.
4
Preheat the waffle iron and grease it with a little coconut oil. Ladle in the batter and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Tip: Due to the superfood content, the waffle will be denser but still crispy on the outside.
5
Serve the waffles topped with fresh blueberries, banana slices and roughly chopped almonds. Tip: Drizzle with additional honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
