Apple-Cinnamon Waffles (Gluten & Dairy Free Recipe)

Waking up to the smell of homemade waffles crisping on a hot iron, biting into the delicate crunchy exterior to discover a soft, comforting pillow of goodness, and experiencing a warming sensation that emanates from the inside out…bliss.  Whether we start these kinds of traditions or are the recipients of heirloom recipes/techniques passed down over generations, I still relish the simple pleasure that “waffle gratification” brings.

So if you’re thinking about breakfast/brunch over the holidays, consider our low-sodium apple-cinnamon waffle recipe, its gluten & dairy free. (Sorry, it uses egg).

Pairs well with fresh fruit compote, icing sugar, or maple syrup.

Apple-Cinnamon Waffles (Gluten & Dairy Free Recipe) (low sodium)

Yield: 8 waffles

Ingredients

• Dry Ingredients
• 1 1/2 cups oat flour*
• 2/3 cups potato starch*
• 1/3 cup + 1 Tablespoon (or 6 Tablespoons) tapioca starch*
• 1 Tablespoon sodium-free baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
•  
• Wet ingredients
• 2 eggs, separated (+ few drops of lemon or vinegar for beating the egg whites) (egg whites seem to whip better @ room temperature, or ~ 30 minutes)
• 1 cup applesauce*
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons vanilla
• 1 1/3 cup rice milk
• Oil - spray (we use grape seed oil) for waffle iron
• *we buy a gluten free brand

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the waffle iron (per their instructions).
2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Separately, beat the egg whites in a small clean, dry, deep bowl.  Add a few drops of lemon or vinegar approximately half way through the process (helps to stabilize). When stiff peaks form (more or less), set aside.
4. In another (medium sized) bowl, whisk the egg yolk, applesauce, vanilla and rice milk together -- until a consistent texture is achieved.
5. Add the egg yolk/applesauce/vanilla/rice milk mixture to the dry ingredients; combine/stir until the batter is a smooth consistency (too many lumps will create an undesirable texture).  Then, gently fold in the whipped egg whites (we use a rubber spatula for this).
6. Spray both sides of the waffle iron with the vegetable oil (follow the manufacturer's instructions).  Gently ladle the batter onto the hot waffle iron.  Close the lid, and cook until the waffles are a golden brown color, the edges are crisp, and the waffles are easily removable from the waffle iron (they should just "lift" up without too much struggle).  Serve warm.
