GF&V Waffles: absolutely delicious




Hands down THE BEST WAFFLE RECIPE EVER
Even your gluten eating carnivore friends will love these. I promise.




I use this recipe all the time. Its my favorite when we have company (breakfast for dinner, anyone?) and everyone has loved it! Word spread quickly that I had made the best waffles and even non-vegan, gluten eating people enjoyed this recipe. 
My favorite was to eat these waffles is with chocolate almond butter (Justin's) and bananas. It's like dessert for breakfast (or dinner). 



Ingredients:


  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Baking Flour
  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (side note: please don't use table salt! I highly recommend sea salt)
  • 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 1/2 cups rice (or almond) milk
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • non stick cooking spray (I recommend olive oil)
Directions:

  1. Preheat waffle maker and spray with cooking spray (or brush iron with coconut oil)
  2. Whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum
  3. Add rice milk, 1/4 coconut oil, agave nectar and vanilla. Stir until combined 
  4. Pour batter onto waffle iron and bake until desired color. Don't open it too early or the waffle will pull apart. It took me a few tries to get the timing (and the waffle) perfect.
