INGREDIENTS
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
1 tbs. ground flaxseed
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp. white or apple-cider vinegar
1/4 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
1 tbs. maple syrup
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats, divided
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. sea salt
Oil for waffle iron
DIRECTIONS
In a small mixing bowl, combine milk, flaxseed, applesauce, and vinegar; let sit for a few minutes. Add oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk thoroughly, then set aside.
Place 1 cup of the oats in a blender and grind to a powder, stopping to scrape down as needed. Add the baking powder and salt and pulse a few times to mix. Add the liquid mixture and process briefly to mix. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom of the blender container to make sure everything is mixed in. Add the remaining 1/2 cup oats and pulse just to mix in. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes until thickened.
Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions, for about five minutes. When the iron is hot, open it and oil lightly. Measure 1/2 cup batter into the middle of the iron and close the top. In about two minutes, when the waffle is browned and crisp, transfer the waffle to a plate or a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve hot, or cool completely and place in a zip-top freezer bag. To thaw, toast frozen waffle in a toaster or toaster oven, and serve with desired toppings.
Delicious, crispy waffles. The batter was very thick, which may be why they turned out smaller than normal but that means they fit in a quart freezer bag. I made the recipe as is except doubling it and it only made 7 small waffles. Next time I’ll add more almond milk.
These are awesome..I left out the oil worked perfect
Yessss!!! SO happy to hear you enjoyed them and that they turned out great!
