Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare your waffle iron by plugging it in and preheating to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined and any lumps are broken up.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy. Add the almond milk and maple syrup, whisking to create a smooth liquid mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles tough.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter per waffle, depending on the size of your waffle maker.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your specific waffle iron.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or silicone spatula, and place on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron between batches if necessary.
- Serve warm, topped with additional fresh blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and optional whipped cream or powdered sugar.
Tips
- Always use room temperature eggs and almond milk for smoother batter consistency.
- Don't overmix the batter – a few small lumps are perfectly fine and will help keep your waffles tender.
- For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the wet ingredients.
- Freeze extra waffles in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for quick toaster-friendly breakfasts later.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen can work too – just don't thaw them before adding to the batter.
- Invest in a good non-stick waffle iron and always grease it lightly to ensure easy removal and perfect golden-brown edges.
- Let the waffles rest for a minute after cooking to help them crisp up and maintain their structure.
