Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup white whole wheat flour
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups refrigerated unsweetened coconut milk beverage
½ cup canola oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup plain coconut milk yogurt
½ cup toasted unsweetened coconut chips
8 teaspoons agave nectar

Steps:

Stir together flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir together coconut milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla in another bowl.
Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture all at once. Stir just until moistened. (Batter will be slightly lumpy.)
Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron and spoon 1/2 cup batter onto the surface. Close and cook until waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat to cook remaining waffles.
Top each waffle with 1 tablespoon yogurt, 1 tablespoon coconut chips, and 1 teaspoon agave nectar.
