Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked brown rice
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking powder. If using, add the sugar and ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Add the cooked brown rice to the wet ingredients and stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle maker with non-stick spray or brush with a small amount of melted butter.
Scoop the batter onto the center of the waffle maker, then close the lid and cook as per waffle maker instructions, or until golden brown and crisp, usually about 5-7 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffle using a spatula and keep it warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles immediately with your choice of low sodium toppings such as fresh fruit or a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
