Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseeds
- 2.5 tablespoons Water (for flax egg)
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh or thawed corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped (optional)
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and water to make a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, cornmeal, and baking powder.
In another bowl, combine the almond milk, melted unsalted butter, honey, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg. Mix well until everything is well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the corn kernels and, if using, the finely chopped chives into the batter.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron) and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically for 5-7 minutes.
Remove the waffles carefully and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite low-sodium toppings.
