Buckwheat Blender Waffles {Gluten-Free}

6 servings
You can substitute the 1/2 cup potato starch and 1/4 cup tapioca starch for 3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour if you like. These waffles freeze wonderfully! Just break them into pieces before freezing. Then you can reheat the waffles directly from the freezer in a toaster on the defrost setting. Spread a toasted waffle with almond butter for an on-the-go breakfast!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk + 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or 1 cup of buttermilk if you can tolerate dairy
  • 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
  • 1/2 cup potato starch*
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch*
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar any granulated sugar, I use succant
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter melted (or coconut oil)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  • Combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the batter.
  • Preheat a waffle iron.
  • Place the buckwheat groats in a high-speed blender. Blend until they are ground into a fine flour. Add the potato starch, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar. Pulse to combine.
  • Add the eggs, butter, vanilla, maple syrup, and almond milk mixture. Blend to evenly combine.
  • Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour about 1/3 cup batter into the waffle iron (or how much is recommended for your particular waffle iron). Cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Gluten-free waffles take longer to cook than regular waffles. Remove from the waffle iron and place on a wire rack. You can preheat the oven to 200F and place the cooked waffles in there while you make the rest.
  • Waffles can be broken into pieces and frozen. Just reheat directly from the freezer in a toaster on the defrost setting.
