Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice flour
• 0.5 cup Cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Melted coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 0.75 cup Canned corn kernels, drained
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and ground turmeric. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth batter.

Step 4

Fold in the drained corn kernels and chopped cilantro, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Once preheated, lightly grease the waffle iron with additional coconut oil if necessary.

Step 7

Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter (or the recommended amount for your waffle iron) into the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the rice and corn waffles warm, garnished with additional cilantro or serve with vegan butter and maple syrup, as desired.
