Crispy Gluten Free Waffles

I’ve been searching for the perfect HEALTHY gluten free waffle recipe. You know the one: packed with hearty flavor + made with real ingredients instead of gluten free flour blends heavy on starch and potatoes. 

I used a combination of 4 flours for these waffles in place of wheat: oat flour because I love oats, almond flour to keep them oil free but still tender, chickpea flour for plant protein and fiber, and cornmeal for the amazing texture. The result is a healthy waffle that crispy on the outside and hearty on the inside. I hope you’ll save this recipe and give it a try!

Makes  4-6 large waffles 

Mix the following dry ingredients in a large bowl:

1 1/2 cups gluten free oat flour

1/2 cup blanched almond flour

1/4 cup chickpea flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 Tablespoon ground chia or flax seeds

1 Tablespoon baking powder

pinch sea salt 

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add:

2 1/2 cups almond milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 Tablespoons date paste, maple syrup, coconut sugar

Mix until well combined. Following your waffle maker's direction, using about 1/2 cup batter per waffle. Cook until crispy and delicious! 

Note: Don’t taste the batter! If you taste batter you may be thrown off by the flavor of the chickpea flour, but I promise it goes away as it cooks.
