Vanilla Maca Coconut Flour Waffle (Vegan, Gluten-free, Refined Sugar-free, Grain-free)

Waffle has long been my favorite food in my childhood memory. I love smashing a thick layer of peanut butter and butter on top of it. However, ever since I turned to a vegan and mostly gluten-free diet, I have never been able to find any waffles for me to eat. Last week, my mom bought a electric waffle maker home because she found this on sale and she knew that I’ve been craving for waffles for soooo long. Christmas came much earlier! When I saw this, I’m just like a kid receiving her Christmas present ☺️ Hence, I just can’t wait to whip up a vegan and gluten-free waffle at home during the long weekend, and I serve it with my favorite acai nice cream. Isn’t it a vegan dream? 😆

Ingredients:

Waffles:

1.5 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp coconut sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
1 tsp Organic Burst Maca powder
1 vegan egg (I used Neat Eggs*, but you can also use flax eggs or chia eggs)
1 vegan egg* + 1 Tbsp almond milk
2 Tbsp almond milk
1 tsp coconut oil

* Neat egg = 1 tsp of neat egg powder + 2 tsp water

Acai nice cream:

1 tsp Organic Burst acai powder
1 frozen banana
1 frozen persimmon
1 cup frozen grapes
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 cup almond milk

Directions:

For the waffle:

1. Coat your waffle iron with coconut oil and preheat it, it usually takes around 2-3 minutes
2. Mix all the wet ingredients in a bowl
3. In other bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, add this to the wet ingredients until the batter is smooth and clump free.
4. Let it sit for a few minutes, then pour it into the waffle maker and smooth the batter until it covers the wells.
5. Close the waffle iron until the waffle is ready (it normally takes 3-4 minutes)
6. Once the waffles are done, carefully remove them from the iron and top with nice cream and your choice of toppings
