Paleo Cassava Flour Waffles

These easy Belgian-style waffles are crispy on the outside but fluffy and elastic on the inside. They are grain-free, vegan, paleo-friendly and nut-free, and have a mild flavor that can go from sweet to savory with ease.

Equipment

Waffle iron
Nylon-or silicone-tipped tongs
Cooking spray (avocado oil)
Mixing bowls

Ingredients

1 ¼ cup cassava flour
¼ cup arrowroot starch/flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon sea salt
3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
¼ cup melted coconut or MCT oil
13.5 ounces full-fat organic coconut milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Toppings such as fruit, non-dairy yogurt, syrup

Instructions

Assemble the ingredients.
Add all of the dry ingredients to a large bowl. Whisk well to combine.
In a small bowl, mix together the wet ingredients.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well to combine. You may need to add a little more coconut milk (or simply a small amount of water), if it’s too thick. Thickness will depend on how thick the coconut milk is. When I used Thai Kitchen coconut milk, I add ¼ cup of water. If you don't add the water, the waffles may come out more square than round.
This batter will be thicker than a typical pancake batter, but that will help it puff up into the Belgian waffle style. The waffle maker works as a press to flatten the waffle.
Cook as you normally would, adding about a minute or longer of cook time than your maker suggests, watching carefully so as not to overcook. If you consistently add more time, adjust the waffle maker to a darker setting. On the Cuisinart waffle maker I set the dial to 4.5 to 5.

Notes

Canned coconut milk with give a thicker batter than the boxed types, which are thinner. This recipe is made using Thai Kitchen coconut milk and Otto's cassava flour.
