GLUTEN-FREE VEGAN WAFFLE ~E.G.PLOTTPALMTREES.COM


This waffle recipe is my favorite.  It is not easy to create a gluten-free vegan waffle that carries the texture, flavor, and consistency of the traditional waffle!  After much work and experimenting, it has been given a multitude of thumbs up from breakfast guests!  Say goodbye to subpar frozen waffles and enjoy a homemade breakfast treat!
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup quinoa flour
  • 3/4 cup brown rice flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 3 Tbs melted coconut oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 3/4 cup almond milk
Instructions:
  1. Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturers instructions.
  2. Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately.
  3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
  4. Using whisk, blend ingredients. (Batter should be some lumps)
  5. Grease waffle iron (I use coconut oil)
  6. Add batter and cook until crisp and brown
  7. Top with coconut butter, cashew whipped cream, fruit or syrup.
Health benefits of this breakfast:
Cooking with quinoa flour is a perfect way to give any recipe a protein boost.  Quinoa flour also contains zinc, iron, calcium, Vitamin B, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and manganese! (1)
Brown rice flour is also high in protein, contains a high level of B vitamins, fiber, calcium, and zinc. (2)
