In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, ricotta cheese, sparkling water, eggs, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick and a little lumpy.
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease if necessary.
Pour the batter into the waffle maker, using about ½ cup of batter per waffle (adjust based on your waffle maker’s size). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
