Ingredients

  • 1½ cup gluten free flour (204g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (4g)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (1g)
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg (1g)
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice (0.5g)
  • ¼ teaspoon pink salt (1.5g)
  • ¾ cup coconut milk (180ml)
  • ¼ cup vegan butter (28g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (4g)
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup (40g) optional
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup yellow plantain (overripe) (75g) mashed
  • cooking spray (I used olive oil spray)

Instructions

  • Add the dry ingredients - gluten free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and pink salt to a medium sized bowl and mix to combine.
  • Add the wet ingredients  - coconut milk, vanilla and maple syrup, eggs and mashed plantain to a separate bowl (I used a jug).
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine to make a smooth batter then set aside.
  • Preheat the waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions.
  • Once the iron is hot, spray with cooking oil and then use a pastry brush to coat the iron.
  • Carefully ladle the batter onto the waffle iron.
  • Cook until the waffle is golden and crispy (this should take about 5 minutes).
  • Once done, place on a wire rack and repeat the above steps with the rest of the batter.

Notes

    • If you want your waffles big then use enough batter to cover the entire base of the waffle maker.
    • Be sure to spray the waffle maker iron with cooking oil, each time that you make another waffle.
    • The total amount of waffles will vary, depending on the size of the waffle and the amount of batter that is used.
    • For best results, consume the waffles immediately.
    • Do not stack the waffles on top of each other, instead lay them in a single layer on a wire rack.
    • Waffle machines may vary, when using yours be sure to follow the manufacturers guidelines.
    • Feel free to use almond milk instead of coconut milk, if you want to.
