Vegan and gluten-free waffle
This Vegan and gluten-free waffle recipe is a good base that can be modified to your liking. For example, for a savoury waffle add some salt and poppy-seeds, ground nuts, lemon zest &juice, vegan pesto, tomato puree or grated courgette. For sweet waffle add a tablespoon of sugar, honey or maple syrup and/or orange zest and juice, cocoa powder, vanilla paste, fruit purée and so on. For these samples I’ve added grated zest and juice of a lemon and served it as savoury nibble base.
Ingredients
Method
- Mix the oat cream and milk with the flax seeds in a small bowl.
- Put the oats in a small food processor and whiz until you get fine oatmeal. Transfer this to a large bowl and add the rice flour and baking powder. Combine, then add the milk mixture.
- Mix well and let it rest for about 30 minutes (minimum 15 min).
- Heat your waffle maker. Add the oil to the batter. If the batter is too thick, add more milk (it should be pourable but thicker than normal pancake batter).
- Spoon some batter into the waffle maker, letting it spread out evenly. Close the maker and cook for 3-5 minutes (depending on your machine). When the waffle is golden brown, move to a plate and repeat. You should be able to make about 4-6 waffles, depending on your maker.
- Serve warm with you chosen topping. Alternatively, cut the waffle into bite-sized slices/squares and use them as party nibble base or serve them as bread alternative.
