Gluten Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Waffles Food

GLUTEN-FREE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle maker to the desired heat setting (recommended: medium-high).
• Place oats into the container of your Vitamix and secure lid. Blend for 15 seconds or until they become a fine powder (the consistency of flour).
• Pour oat flour into a medium mixing bowl.
• Add tapioca flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt cinnamon and coconut sugar to the oat flour and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Add almond milk, peanut butter and banana to the container of your Vitamix and secure the lid.
• Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend on high for 15 seconds or until the mixture is smooth.
• Add vanilla and egg and blend for 10 seconds, until just combined.
• Pour wet ingredients from the Vitamix container into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
• Let mixture sit for 2-5 minutes to thicken.
• Cook on medium-high heat in your waffle maker for about 4 minutes (or until your waffles reach the optimal crispiness and brownness...which will vary depending on your waffle maker)!
• Serve warm!

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 DREAMY PEANUT BUTTER, BANANA & OATMEAL ELVIS BAR

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray an 8 x 8 inch baking pan and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the first 4 ingredients and cream together well. Add in the vanilla, stir, then add in the peanut butter. Stirring carefully so you don't spill, work in all of the peanut butter until in is completely incorporated.
• Sprinkle the baking soda over the entire mixture, add in the oatmeal and chocolate chips and blend until well combined.
• Pour into the 8 x 8 baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Top should be nice and brown and center will still be slightly wiggly/moist. Allow to cool completely before cutting into them.
