These easy vegan and gluten-free waffles are made from blended buckwheat groats and contain no added starches or flours. They are a nutrient-dense way to start your day, as buckwheat contains numerous anti-inflammatory polyphenols (such as rutin and quercetin), as well as fiber, protein, and minerals (such as manganese and magnesium). Serve waffles with a dollop of coconut yogurt, fresh berries, and pure maple syrup. They are also delicious slathered with sunflower seed butter or almond butter for an afternoon snack!
