Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Brown Rice Flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 cup Frozen Corn Kernels
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles tough.
Gently fold in the frozen corn kernels and chopped chives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Add the ground black pepper for a subtle kick.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil, and pour enough batter to cover about two-thirds of the surface. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with your favorite sugar-free toppings or a dollop of yogurt. Enjoy!
