I Can’t Believe How Good These Waffles Are
I cannot tell you how many gluten/wheat free flour mixes I have concocted over the years to try to get the taste and texture right. Many times, my husband has walked in on me amidst one of these undertakings and commented that it looked like a science experiment was going on in our kitchen. Recently, I perfected (yes, I believe so) the gluten-free wheat free waffle/pancake flour mixture. I hope you enjoy this as much as we have!

When ready to make waffles
- Rice milk
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Combine flour mixture ingredients in an airtight container and shake/mix until well combined. Store in pantry until ready to use.
- Mix about 1 to 1 1/2 cups rice milk and 1 tablespoon of oil per cup of flour mixture until well blended. I prefer my mixture a a little thinner. Pour into heated waffle iron (recommended), or pour into a heated and greased nonstick pan, 1-2 minutes per side.
Notes
- Serve with maple syrup (although my 5- yr old loves the waffles so much that she doesn't even ask for the syrup! My husband still goes for the syrup, though.)
