Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 0.5 cup Chopped scallions (green onions)
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let this mixture sit for 2 minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the olive oil and maple syrup to the almond milk mixture and whisk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the corn kernels, chopped scallions, cilantro, and cayenne pepper until evenly distributed.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray or brush with oil.
Pour or ladle enough batter onto the waffle iron to cover the surface, avoiding overfilling.
Close the lid and cook according to the waffle maker's instructions, typically about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, potentially topped with additional fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or vegan sour cream for added flavor.
