Remember your loved one(s) Valentines Day!  They would certainly appreciate these waffles, especially if you have a Heart-Shaped Waffle Maker. Don’t worry if you don’t though, they will still be delicious and much enjoyed!!! 😀

8 to 12 hours before making the waffles: Mix buttermilk (or milk + lemon juice/vinegar), spelt flour, and oats in a medium bowl; let soak, covered, at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours.

Time to make the Waffles: After the soaking period, Preheat and lightly grease waffle iron.

In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, maple syrup (or honey), coconut oil, and vanilla. Add in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and ground flax or chia seed – whisking until no lumps remain.

Fold the “soaked” flour mixture into the cocoa-egg mixture until completely combined.

Cook waffles in preheated iron according to manufacturers instructions.

Serve warm with desired toppings – anything from butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, homemade ice cream, shaved chocolate, etc.
