Pre-heat waffle iron on medium-high heat (I set mine between a 4 and 5 on a scale of 6).
Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Once waffle maker is pre-heated, pour 1/2 of the waffle batter into one side of the waffle maker, flip to the other side and pour the remaining batter into that side of the waffle maker. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the waffle maker beeps to signal that it's done.
Top waffles with ice cream and maple syrup before serving, if desired.
