Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: waffle iron, mixing bowls, whisk, measuring cups and spoons.
- Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or additional coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: cassava flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well integrated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Add milk, melted coconut oil, and honey (if using). Mix thoroughly to combine wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are acceptable.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow cassava flour to absorb liquid and prevent overly dense waffles.
- Pour appropriate amount of batter into preheated waffle iron, following manufacturer's recommended quantity.
- Cook waffles until golden brown and crisp, typically 3-4 minutes depending on waffle iron.
- Carefully remove waffle and repeat with remaining batter, re-greasing waffle iron as needed.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
Tips
- Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Make sure your waffle iron is preheated to medium-high heat before pouring in the batter. This ensures that your waffles cook evenly and come out perfectly crispy.
- Grease It Up: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted coconut oil before pouring in the batter. This helps prevent sticking and makes for easy removal.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, whisk just until the batter is smooth. A few small lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to fluffier waffles.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes before cooking. This step is crucial for the cassava flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in a lighter texture.
- Watch the Cooking Time: Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron. Keep an eye on the waffles and remove them once they are golden brown and crisp, typically around 3-4 minutes.
- Serve Immediately: For the best texture, serve the waffles right away. If you have leftovers, keep them warm in the oven at a low temperature until ready to serve.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Experiment with toppings to suit your taste! Fresh fruits, yogurt, nut butter, or even chocolate chips can add a delicious twist to your waffles.
