Gluten-Free Chocolate Waffles Recipe

These chocolate waffles taste like brownies - moist, chocolatey and sweet, but not TOO sweet. Add some melted butter and a drizzle of maple syrup and they’re perfect, or create a decadent dessert by topping them with ice cream.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 cup blanched almond flour
½ cup arrowroot powder (tapioca starch will also work)
½ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients

1 large egg
¼ cup melted butter (substitute melted coconut oil or avocado oil if dairy-free )
¾ cup milk (coconut milk, almond milk and water will also work)
2 tsp vanilla extract (how to make vanilla extract)
1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Preheat your waffle iron.
Combine dry ingredients (almond flour, arrowroot flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt) in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients – egg, butter/oil, milk, vanilla, and lemon juice/apple cider vinegar.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together until well-combined.
Cook waffles in the preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. The batter will fluff up a bit while cooking, so don’t overfill the waffle iron. As I mentioned above, they’ll still be soft when they’re ready to come out of the waffle maker and will firm up a little after they’re removed. It may take a waffle or two to get a “feel” for the level of doneness you prefer, but after that it’s pretty straightforward.
If needed, reheat leftover waffles in a toaster.
