Instructions
Vegan Orange Cranberry Waffles
Mix the cashew milk and apple cider vinegar together. Let sit for at least 3 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, gluten free flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, sea salt and orange zest together. Set aside.
In a smaller bowl, mix all the vegan buttermilk, orange juice, the melted vegan butter, the maple syrup and the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined.
Turn on and preheat your Calphalon IntelliCrisp 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.
When preheated, use a ½ cup/125ml measuring cup, scoop out some batter and pour/spread into the middle of each side of the waffle maker (so ½ cup per side). You don’t need to push it to the edges. Close and remove when the timer on Calphalon IntelliCrisp 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.
While the waffles are being made, you can prepare your Cranberry Maple Compote.
Cranberry Maple Compote
Add all the ingredients to a pot over high heat. Bring the ingredients to a boil until cranberries begin to pop, and then remove from heat. Allow to cool while cooking the rest of the waffles.
