# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease the cooking surfaces with coconut oil.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and cardamom until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest until fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing. The batter should be thick yet pourable; add additional milk if necessary for desired consistency.
