Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter (or as recommended for your waffle iron) onto the center of the waffle iron and close the lid.
Cook the waffle for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly while you cook the remaining waffles.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
