Prepration for:Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free Waffles with Fresh Fruit & Chocolate Drizzle

Step 1/3

Prepare Waffle Batter

In a small bowl, mix almond milk with apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to curdle (creates “buttermilk” effect). In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, and salt. Add the milk mixture, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth (but don’t overmix).

Step 2/3

Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron and grease it lightly with oil or cooking spray. Pour batter into the waffle iron and cook according to your machine’s instructions (usually 4–5 minutes until golden and crisp).

Step 3/3

Add Toppings

Place the cooked waffles on a plate. Top with banana slices, strawberries, and blueberries. Drizzle with maple syrup and melted chocolate.

Chef's Tips & Notes

Tips: You can freeze extra waffles and reheat them in the toaster. For crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or gluten-free granola on top. Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the batter for extra warmth.
