I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday! I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate on Wednesday waffles! (I think I’m going to make that into a thing.)
I’m so excited to share these chai spiced waffles with you because this is the first guest post on Choosing Chia from the amazingly talented Ashley Collins of Nourish Me Mum!

Alright, let’s get to it Ashley!
You’ll welcome fall after tasting a bite of these Autumn inspired Waffles.
Waffles… Just that word makes me think of weekends, sleep-ins, cozy blankets, good company and the smell of freshly brewed coffee. This recipe is the perfect compliment to that scenario with the warm scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and ginger. This simple vegan, gluten free, nut free recipe is perfect for just about anyone. Adjust the amount of spice if you prefer a stronger flavor or add a little extra maple syrup if you have a sweet tooth.
Enjoy x Ash

I made these on a lazy Sunday morning and they felt like such a treat. The spices really made the waffles stand out, and it smelled amazing while they were cooking. I topped mine with yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup, and it felt super cozy without being overly sweet. Definitely trying these again during the holidays.
Yay, Ash makes the absolute best waffles! Great share 🙂
Yes! It is such a wonderful recipe 🙂
