    Yields4 Servings
    Prep Time15 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins
    Dry Ingredients
     1 + ¼ cup (180g) all-purpose flour
     ¼ cup (40g) cornstarch
     1 tablespoon + ½ tablespoon baking powder
     1 tablespoon activated charcoal powder*
     ¼ teaspoon salt
    Wet Ingredients
     1 + ½ cup almond or soy milk
     2 tablespoon + ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
     1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Black Sesame Paste
     ½ cup (60g) roasted black sesame seeds
     3 tablespoon maple syrup
     2 tablespoon sesame oil
    1

    To make black sesame paste, pulse roasted black sesame in a coffee grinder or food processor until fine (if using raw sesame seeds, toast on stove in a skillet first). Combine the ground sesame with maple syrup and sesame oil until it forms a thin paste.

    2

    Combine black sesame paste and the other wet ingredients stirring until smooth.

    3

    Next, whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined— it should be a smooth, shiny batter, with no lumps.

    4

    Preheat and grease a waffle iron and pour the batter in, making sure each waffle is fully cooked before opening the waffle maker.

    Notes
    • *Activated charcoal powder is tasteless and is just for the dramatic color (you can omit it; the waffles will be a nutty gray instead of black). You can find it at most grocery and health stores.
