Total Time :20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 102 grams brown rice flour
  • 30 grams (1/4 cup) tapioca starch
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons buttermilk (or kefir)
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
  • Almond butter jam, and maple syrup to serve

Instructions 

  • Preheat waffle iron to medium high. In a large bowl, whisk together brown rice flour, tapioca starch, salt, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together vanilla, maple syrup, kefir, and egg until smooth. Whisk these ingredients into the dry, then whisk in the butter until completely combined and smooth.
  • Then add one third, or half (if you want really large waffles) of the batter to the waffle iron. As the batter sits it will get really thick - not pourable. It's totally okay (you can add a tablespoon of milk to thin it a bit if you'd like). Just spread it out on in the middle of the iron, like you would cake batter.
  • Seal, and let cook until just golden brown. (do not overcook) *I don't rely on the timer on my waffle, instead I open lid to look after a few minutes to see how they are coming along. Repeat two more times to makes additional waffles.
  • Then top with almond butter, jam, and maple syrup.
