Belgium Gluten Free Waffles

Ingredients
1 cup blanched almond flour
1 cup tapioca flour
2 Tablespoons coconut flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
teaspoon sea salt
2 eggs
cup melted coconut
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup almond milk
teaspoon vanilla
Directions
1. Place all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until all lumps have been
removed.
2. Add liquid ingredients and whisk for 2 minutes or until batter has thickened. Batter will
be similar to a thin pancake batter.
3. Spray or coat waffle maker with a thin layer of oil.
4. Fill waffle maker with batter and follow waffle maker instructions. For a Belgium waffle
maker I use cup of batter, for a smaller waffle maker, I use cup.
5. I used a Belgium waffle maker and used the minimum setting. I poured in the batter,
flipped the waffle upside down and let it heat for 2 minutes. Flipped it right side up,
opened the lid and removed the waffle gently with a rubber spatula. Serve with berries
and maple syrup.
6. Makes 3-4 waffles.
