Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 Cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 Cup Arrowroot or Corn Starch
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1-2 TB Granulated Sweetener (or preferred granulated sugar)
- 1 1/2 Cups Light Unsweetened Coconut Milk*
- 1 TB White Vinegar
- 1/3 Cup Aquafaba (liquid from 1 can of chickpeas)
- 1/4 Cup Melted Vegan Butter
- 1 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the milk and vinegar. Set aside to allow it to curdle.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, starch, baking powder, baking soda, and sweetener. Whisk together until uniform.
- Whip the aquafaba liquid vigorously until very frothy, before adding it to the flour mixture. Then pour in the buttermilk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla.
- Mix the batter together until bubbling and activated.
- In a greased and preheated waffle maker, cook about 1/4 cup of batter for a small waffle maker or about 1/2 cup batter for a large Belgium waffle maker. Cook the waffle according to your waffle maker's instructions.
- After each batch of waffle(s) is done, set your oven to 250°F and place finished waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet in the heated oven to allow them to finish crisping and stay warm until ready to serve.
Notes
- You can use any unsweetened non-dairy milk if you can't have canned coconut milk. You can also use lemon juice instead of vinegar.
- To freeze leftover waffles: Allow your waffles to cool completely to room temperature in a single layer on a wire rack. Transfer the waffles to a baking sheet to freeze solid in a single layer in the freezer, before wrapping them individually in wax paper and then storing in a freezer-safe bag or container (up to 6 months).
- To reheat waffles: Take frozen waffles directly from the freezer and pop them into your toaster or, for larger-sized waffles, you can toast them back up in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes (flipping halfway through).
