What you will need
This recipe uses 7 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups white rice flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.75 cups oat milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Preheat Waffle Iron
Preheat your waffle iron according to its instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a thin layer of coconut oil to prevent sticking and help the waffles achieve maximum crispiness.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the rice flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined and free of any lumps.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl beat the eggs lightly then whisk in the oat milk and melted coconut oil, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth pourable batter forms with no dry flour remaining.
Step 4: Cook the Waffles
Pour about half a cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron and close the lid, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes until steam stops escaping from the sides and the waffles are golden brown and crispy, then serve immediately with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- oat milk → coconut milk for richer creamier waffles with a slight coconut flavor
- eggs → flax eggs made with one tablespoon flaxseed and three tablespoons water each for an egg free version
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Opening the waffle iron too early tears the waffle apart before it has fully set and crisped
- Not greasing the waffle iron between each waffle causes sticking and uneven browning
