Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseeds
- 2.5 tablespoons Water (for flax egg)
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh or thawed corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped (optional)
- 0 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and water to make a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, cornmeal, and baking powder.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the almond milk, melted unsalted butter, honey, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg. Mix well until everything is well blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the corn kernels and, if using, the finely chopped chives into the batter.
Step 6
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 7
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron) and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically for 5-7 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the waffles carefully and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite low-sodium toppings.
