• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe

• 1 preheat waffle iron (spray with non-stick spray, if needed).
• 2 in a food processor or blender, whip the flax seed and water together until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency, about 2 minutes. add the margarine and milk, and whip for another minute.
• 3 in a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. create a well in the center of your dry ingredients, and pour in the milk mixture. stir until just combined. add the chocolate syrup, stir. fold in chocolate chips, strawberries, and banana.
• 4 spoon 1/2 cup batter (or the amount recommended for your waffle iron) onto the hot iron. spread the batter to just within 1/4 inch of the edge of the grids using the back of your spoon or spatula. close the lid and bake until the waffle is crispy. serve immediately or keep warm in a single layer on the rack in a 200 degree f oven while you finish cooking the rest (keeping the oven door cracked will help prevent them from getting soggy). decorate the waffle with toppings.
