Instructions:

For the Coconut Milk:

1 Combine the grated coconut with hot water in a high-speed blender.

2 Blend on high until the mixture appears creamy.

3 Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.

4 Store the coconut milk in the refrigerator in a sealed container. It should be used within 4-5 days.

For the Waffles:

1 Preheat your waffle iron.

2 In a large bowl, whisk together buckwheat flour, oat flour, ground flax seeds, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

3 In a separate bowl, combine the whole egg, egg white, melted coconut oil, homemade coconut milk, vanilla extract, olive oil, white sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds.

4 Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.

5 Grease the preheated waffle iron with a little olive oil.

6 Pour batter onto the waffle iron and cook according to the iron’s instructions, usually about 5-6 minutes per waffle until they are golden and crisp.

These waffles pair wonderfully with additional toppings like fresh fruits or a drizzle of natural honey. They offer a hearty, nutritious start to the day with the added health benefits of buckwheat and oats, and the homemade coconut milk adds a deliciously creamy texture and tropical flavor.
