In reply to Nancy. Thank you for asking, Nancy. You can substitute one large egg for the i tablespoon of ground flaxseeds and 2 tablespoons of water.

How many eggs do I use if I don’t want to use flaxseed with water mixed?

In reply to Paul.

Hi Paul,

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on the recipe and for trying it. I’m sorry to hear that it was sticking to your waffle maker. I tried it again and they came out of the waffle maker fine for me. Mine is nonstick – not sure what type you may have? I just posted the video from it on my Instagram (@melissatraubrd). I added the weight for the ground flaxseed, cornstarch, and banana that I used to the recipe. I think a few areas for variability are the amount of flour used: too much flour could possibly throw off the batter. Also, I don’t know if it matters but I use Simply Nature brand ground flaxseed. Also I cook it until the green light goes on the second time, which is about 5 minutes.

Best wishes.

Great tasting batter but stuck literally like glue to my waffle maker. I used butter on the waffle iron to make sure it wouldn’t stick but it was stuck on to the point I needed a knife and fork to scrape it out. The waffle broke into pieces. I am thinking soaking the waffle iron in water might help. I’ve had other recipes that were vegan and they came out with no problems. I am guessing it’s the flaxseed that caused it to stick. Thoughts?

Oh yes! I remember ‘Family Circle’. I had no idea it disappeared.
These waffles sound as delicious as they are healthy. Love the use of grated ginger too.
