Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free oat flour
• 0.5 cups Brown rice flour
• 0.25 cups Tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let this mixture sit for 2–3 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.

Step 4

To the buttermilk mixture, add the eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this may affect the texture.

Step 6

Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a small amount of melted coconut oil.

Step 7

Pour the recommended amount of batter for your waffle iron into the center and close the lid. Cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually 4–6 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, syrup, or nut butter.
