This Gluten Free Waffles Recipe is also dairy-free and naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and flavored with cinnamon. Make a bunch and enjoy them right away or freeze them for later.
Preheat your waffle maker. Have two mixing bowls ready.
PREPARE WET INGREDIENTS:
In one of the mixing bowls, add the eggs. Whisk to break the yolks.
Next, add the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, almond milk, and kosher salt. Mix until dark homogenized liquid forms, and set aside.
PREPARE DRY INGREDIENTS:
In the other mixing bowl, add the gluten-free flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
Whisk the dry ingredients until well combined.
MIX THE WAFFLE BATTER:
Add the dry ingredients in with the wet a little at a time. Mix and fold until a thick batter forms.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
COOK WAFFLES:
Dollop the batter into the waffle maker and sprinkle the coconut and cinnamon mixture on top of the batter right before closing the lid.
Cook according to your waffle maker's time frame.
Enjoy while hot or freeze for later.
Notes
Why add salt to the wet ingredients? Since we are not using a yeast-based recipe, adding salt to the wet ingredients is okay. It will help dissolve it more evenly, resulting in better distribution of seasoning.
