Equipment

  • Waffle Iron

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups 105 g of oats ground into a flour (or oat flour)
  • 1 ¼ cups 185g of gluten free flour mix
  • ¼ cup 25g almond flour optional
  • ½ teaspoon 2g baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons 7g baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon 5g sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 1 ½ cups 360ml almond milk or any nut milk
  • 2 teaspoons 10ml apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon 15ml orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon 2.5ml vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons 30ml maple syrup
  • 1 cup 50g fresh or frozen cranberries each sliced in half

Cranberry Maple Compote

  • ½ cup 25g fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 2 cups diced apple
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • ½ cup 120ml maple syrup or agave
Makes: 4inch round

Instructions
 

  • Mix the plant based milk and apple cider vinegar together in a small bowl. Let sit for at least 3 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk. In another small bowl or measuring cup mix egg replacer with 2 tablespoons water and let sit 2 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, gluten free flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt together. Set aside.
  • In a smaller bowl, mix all the vegan buttermilk, orange juice, the maple syrup and the vanilla extract. Add egg replacer and gently combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined.
  • Let rest for 3 minutes.
  • Turn on and preheat your Waffle Maker according to which done level that you want.
  • When preheated, use a ½ cup/125ml measuring cup, scoop out some batter and pour/spread into the middle. You don’t need to push it to the edges. Close and remove when done.
  • Remove each waffle and place on a baking sheet in your oven or toaster oven on "warm" or 200F/95C to keep warm and crispy until finished with the entire batter. Continue with the rest of the batter.
  • While the waffles are being made, you can prepare your Cranberry Maple Compote.

Cranberry Apple Maple Compote

  • Place peeled diced apples in a pot over medium heat to allow the apples to cook slowly release juices for 3-5 minutes.
  • All the ingredients to a pot over high heat. Bring the ingredients to a boil until cranberries begin to pop, and then remove from heat. Allow to cool while cooking the rest of the waffles.
  • Serve over the waffles and enjoy!

Notes

  • Yields ten 4-inch pancakes or six 6-inch waffles.
  • Cut the cranberries in half to allow for more coverage and even cooking.  This also avoids a big sour POP in your mouth with eat bite!
  • It is important to let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes as the gluten free flours need to absorb the liquid to make the batter thick.  You may decide you want a thinner batter.  If so, simply add more plant based milk or water 2 tablespoons at at time.
  • To crisp up the waffles, remove each waffle and place on a wire rack positioned over a baking sheet and pop  in your oven or toaster oven on “warm” or 200F/95C to keep warm and crisp them up.
  • Store completely cooled leftovers in freezer bags and reheat in toaster or toaster oven.
