Easy Cassava Flour Waffles (Paleo, Grain Free)
Description
Get the Recipe: Easy Cassava Flour Waffles (Paleo, Grain Free) focuses on cassava flour combined with eggs, coconut milk, and a leavening agent to create waffles that are crisp on the outside and softly textured inside. The use of baking soda gives lift, while butter or coconut oil adds richness. Vanilla extract rounds out the flavor. The preparation involves mixing the batter smoothly and cooking it in a greased waffle iron until golden, typically about 3 minutes per waffle.
The recipe produces waffles suited for those avoiding grains, relying on cassava flour as the main dry ingredient. The coconut milk contributes moisture and creaminess, helping the waffles hold together well. Spraying the waffle maker with nonstick spray even if it claims to be nonstick helps prevent batter sticking and ensures easy removal.
These waffles can be enjoyed topped with a variety of options such as fresh fruit, nut butters, maple syrup, or chocolate chips. Leftovers can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated, maintaining texture and flavor.
To achieve the best results, shake canned coconut milk before measuring to ensure consistent texture. Stir the batter until fully smooth, avoiding any lumps for even cooking. Almond milk may be substituted though the batter may be slightly thinner. Using a Belgian waffle maker yields a seven-inch waffle, but cooking time may vary depending on your waffle maker's specifics.
