Ingredients

  • 2 cups soy milk or other plant-based milk (I prefer soy milk for vegan buttermilk), 500mL
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, 10ml
  • 87 grams cassava flour or oat flour
  • 1 ¼ cups all purpose gluten free flour mix (I use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour), 185g
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda 2.4g
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder 7.2g
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt 4.2g
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or vegan butter, 30mL
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I love Nielsen-Massey), 5ml
  • 2 very ripe bananas mashed with a fork (a bit over ½ cup and a bit less than ¾ cup)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts walnuts or pecans are best

Instructions

  • Mix the nut milk and apple cider vinegar together in a large bowl or large measuring cup. Let sit for at least 3 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cassava flour, gluten free flour, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt. Set aside.
  • In the apple cider vinegar and nut milk bowl, stir in the coconut oil/vegan butter, and the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. Add in the mashed bananas, chocolate chips and the nuts.
  • Turn on and preheat your Waffle Maker according to which done level that you want. I set mine two dials before max because I like mine crisp and brown but also very fluffy. I also tested these on "light" and they work both ways!
  • When preheated, use a heaping 1/4 cup/62.5ml measuring cup, scoop out some batter and pour/spread into the middle of each side of the waffle maker (so 1/4 cup per side*). You don’t need to push it to the edges. Close and remove when the timer on the Waffle Maker is finished and the waffle maker beeps.
  • Remove each waffle and place on a baking sheet in your oven or toaster oven on "warm" or 200F/95C to keep warm and crispy until finished with the entire batter. Continue with the rest of the batter.
  • Top with extra bananas and chocolate chips and maple syrup (optional). Enjoy!

Notes

Notes
I used 1/4 cup because the nuts and chocolate chips and banana make this batter very chunky. If you’re modifying it and leaving any of those out, you might need to use 1/2 cup.
