Description

Cassava flour is combined with almond flour, flax milk, dairy-free ricotta, vanilla, Meyer Lemon, and plant-based butter for the perfect gluten-free, vegan, grain free waffle recipe.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups cassava flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 3/4 cup almond meal/flour
  • 1.5 tablespoons arrowroot flour/starch
  • 1.5 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened flax milk (or other plant milk)
  • 2 Meyer Lemons, juiced and zested
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegan ricotta (or substitute with unsweetened applesauce)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plant butter (melted)

Meyer Lemon Syrup

  • 1/2 cup organic powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Meyer Lemon juice (approximately 1 large Meyer Lemon)

Garnishes (optional)

  • whipped coconut cream
  • powdered sugar
  • star fruit
  • dragon fruit

Instructions

    1. Heat your waffle iron while you make the batter
    2. In a medium-large bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together, then add the wet and mix until well combined.
      **NOTE: I add the butter in last so that it doesn’t harden back up
    3. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
    4. Spray your waffle iron with coconut oil (or other non-stick spray).
    5. Depending on which waffle iron you have, (I used a belgian waffle maker) add 1/3 cup of batter to each waffle well and bake until golden on the outside.
    6. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of Meyer Lemon juice (approximately 1 large Meyer Lemon) and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and syrup-like.
    7. Serve garnished with Meyer Lemon Syrup, and optionally whipped coconut cream, powdered sugar, star fruit, dragon fruit.
