Gluten Free Buckwheat Waffles Food

BUCKWHEAT WAFFLES

Steps:

• IF USING BUCKWHEAT GROATS: Place the buckwheat groats in the jar of a high-speed blender. Blend into a very fine flour. This might take a few minutes and require stopping the blender and shaking the container to get everything completely smooth.
• Pour the buckwheat flour into a bowl and add the coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix to evenly combine.
• In a glass measuring cup, add the almond milk (be sure it isn't cold so the coconut oil doesn't solidify), cider vinegar, vanilla extract and egg. Mix to combine. Pour the almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients along with the coconut oil. Stir to evenly combine.
• Preheat a waffle iron and light grease with cooking spray. Cook waffles according to the manufacturers instructions. (I usually cook my waffles for 3-4 minutes in this waffle iron).
• Serve immediately with toppings of choice. Leftover waffles freeze great! Just let them cool and put in a ziploc bag. Frozen waffles can be toasted directly from the freezer.

GLUTEN-FREE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Stir milk, buckwheat, almond flour, vegetable oil, eggs, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until batter is smooth.
• Working in batches, ladle batter into preheated waffle iron and cook until waffles are golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.

GLUTEN-FREE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients.
• Mix together the 1 1/2 cups milk and eggs; stir in the butter.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Add additional milk until you get a batter a little thicker than pancake batter.
• Spread a ladleful or so of batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron.
• (Mine whistles.) Serve immediately.
• Freeze leftovers in a plastic baggie with a sheet of wax paper in between each waffle.
• NOTE: My absolute favorite flour for waffles is"All-Purpose Celiac Flour" by Kinnikinnick (They are based in Canada. www. kinnikinnick. com) If ordering online isn't an option for you, try this flour blend: 2 cups White Rice Flour, 1 cup Potato Starch, 1/2 cup Tapioca Starch, 1-3/4 tsp Guar Gum.
• Use 2 cups for waffles.
• (I haven't tried this substitution, but based on the ingredient list on the package and with help from Bette Hagman's books, it sounds like a good bet.).

GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE AND BUCKWHEAT WAFFLES

Steps:

• Toppings:
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Toss buckwheat, 2 tsp. maple syrup, and salt on a rimmed baking sheet until evenly coated. Bake until dry to the touch and toasty smelling, 12-15 minutes. Stir to recoat and transfer to a sheet of parchment paper. Let crumble cool.
• Whisk ricotta and remaining 2 Tbsp. maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth.
• Waffles and assembly:
• Heat a waffle iron on medium. Whisk buckwheat flour, cocoa powder, flaxseed meal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl to combine. Whisk eggs, buttermilk, coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Add to dry ingredients and whisk until smooth; mix in chocolate.
• Lightly coat waffle iron with nonstick spray. Scoop batter onto waffle iron (it should cover the entire surface; amount needed will vary according to model) and cook waffles until you smell a blast of chocolaty aroma hit you and edges are slightly darkened, around 3 minutes per batch. Remove carefully from waffle iron. Without gluten, waffles will be extra tender.
• Serve waffles topped with whipped ricotta, crumble, and maple syrup.

CAROB BUCKWHEAT WAFFLES OR PANCAKES (GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle iron.
• Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the starch, carob powder, salt and chopped nuts.
• In the blender, grind the remaining nuts to a fine meal. Scrape the bottom and sides of the jar; add 1 ¾ C boiling water, vitamin C crystals, oil and vanilla; blend for one minute.
• If using optional eggs, mix yolks (if desired) into the batter and beat the whites, in a small bowl, to soft peaks. Use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter (in the next step).
• Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients. Whisk lightly until the mixture is blended.
• Combine the remaining ¼ C boiling water with the baking soda (it will foam up). Stir to dissolve and whisk into the batter.
• Use a measuring cup to pour 1 C batter into the heated waffle iron. Cook until done.
• If making pancakes, it makes 12-15 large ones.
