Instructions
Nut butter maple syrup: First, mix your nut butter syrup. Combine ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth. For thinner syrup use more water. Set aside.

Notes
Make vegan buttermilk. Add juice of 1/2 large lemon to non-dairy milk and let set for about 10 minutes.
Using coconut oil. Be sure to warm the milk or use room temp milk. Cold milk will solidify the coconut oil making it lumpy. For best results, warm the milk and coconut oil together.
Oil-free waffles. These will turn out just as well without any oil added.
Plain buckwheat waffles. If you don’t have cocoa or just want to make them plain, sub the cocoa powder with flour and reduce the sugar in half.
