Mini Coconut & Chia Waffles

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 2 Tbsp white sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
• zest and juice from half an orange
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp Organic Chia Seed
• sliced bananas and shredded coconut, for garnish

Preheat the waffle iron.

In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and soda, salt and sugar. Whisk the coconut into the sifted flour mixture.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, coconut oil, orange zest and juice, and vanilla.

Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and whisk to combine, without over-mixing. Stir in the chia seed, if using.

Using a quarter cup measure, scoop the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer instructions. (For full size waffles, a half cup measure might work better.)

Top the cooked waffles with sliced banana and shredded coconut, if desired.
