Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa flour
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sweet potato puree
- 2 eggs separated
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or flax oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Heat a waffle iron to medium-high.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Separate the eggs into two additional mixing bowls. To the bowl with the yolks, add the sweet potato, oil, vanilla and almond milk, and beat together until smooth.
- For the whites, beat on high with an electric mixer until they can hold stiff peaks.
- Add the yolk-milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the whites and gently fold until the batter is just combined again. Careful not to over mix as you don't want to deflate the egg whites.
- Grease the waffle iron and drop 1/4 cup of batter into the center. Cook according to your waffle maker's instructions until golden brown and lightly crispy; typically about 2 - 3 minutes.
- Transfer waffle to a wire rack and repeat with remaining batter.
- When ready to serve, top with desired toppings and enjoy!
