Best Vegan Gluten-Free Waffles in the World

This is the best vegan gluten-free waffles in the world. The rice flour makes it crispy on the outside, yet it's also soft in the inside. Healthy and filling. Great frozen and toasted for future meals. I usually make at least 2 recipes for our family of 5.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cup almond milk 

1 tsp white or apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup grapeseed oil

1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 T maple syrup (optional)

1 C brown rice flour

1/2 gluten-free rolled oats

1/2 cup potato starch (not flour)*

1/4 scant cup tapioca starch* 

*can be replaced with whole wheat/all-purpose flour if not gluten-free

1 T flaxseed meal

1 pinch salt

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

2 T sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine almond milk and vinegar in a large liquid measuring cup and let set for a few minutes to curdle/activate. Then add melted butter, vanilla extract and agave nectar and whisk. Set aside.
2. Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
3. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until well incorporated. Let set for 10-15 minutes while your waffle iron preheats. 
4. Once waffle iron is ready, generously coat with non-stick spray (I use coconut oil) and pour on about 1/3 cup of batter. Cook according to manufacturer instructions and then remove and place on a baking rack in a 200-degree F (93 C) oven to keep warm. Do not stack and instead keep them in a single layer to ensure crispiness remains.
