Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together 1 1/2 cups dairy-free milk, 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup (optional), and 1 tsp vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl stir together 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 cup super-fine almond flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined; do not overmix—the batter may be slightly lumpy.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes while you preheat the waffle iron.
- Preheat the waffle iron to your desired setting (medium to medium-high is recommended) and prepare the surface according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Using a 1/2-cup measuring cup, scoop batter into the center of the hot waffle iron. Do not overfill—leave a small border from the edge.
- Close the waffle iron and cook without opening for 5–7 minutes, or until steam has completely stopped.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, reheating or preparing the waffle iron surface as needed between batches.

Notes
Notes
*Flour:
I use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour. You can substitute oat flour with the all-purpose, but we found them to be slightly crumbly this way.
**Nut-free version:
Omit the almond flour and all-purpose flour, and use 2 cups oat flour for your base. We find this results in denser (but still very tasty!) waffles.
Flavors:
Adjust flavoring as desired (more vanilla extract, cinnamon, or add a touch of almond extract.)
Waffle iron:
My 7-inch round Belgian waffle iron is non-stick and doesn't require oil or spray. Be sure to lightly spray yours if your machine requires it.
Pancake option:
This batter also works well for pancakes!
