Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 4 waffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare your equipment by preheating a non-stick waffle iron to medium-high heat. Ensure the waffle iron is fully heated before adding batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Whisk these wet ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles tough.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the gluten-free flour to absorb the liquid and create a smoother consistency.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with a small amount of coconut oil or use a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy, typically 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or silicone spatula. Repeat the process with remaining batter.
- Serve immediately while warm. Top with fresh berries, additional maple syrup, coconut whipped cream, or your favorite vegan toppings.
- Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a toaster or oven to maintain crispness.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated for the crispiest results. A medium-high heat setting works best for achieving that perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Don't Overmix: Gently combine wet and dry ingredients just until mixed. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense waffles.
- Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the batter to sit for 2-3 minutes helps the gluten-free flour absorb liquid and creates a smoother texture.
- Grease Wisely: Use a light coating of coconut oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy waffle removal.
- Portion Control: Use a measuring cup or ladle to add consistent amounts of batter to your waffle iron.
- Serve Immediately: Waffles are best enjoyed fresh and hot. If needed, keep them warm in a low-temperature oven while cooking the remaining batch.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Experiment with fresh berries, maple syrup, coconut whipped cream, or even savory toppings to make your waffles unique!
