Servings: 3
Preparation duration: 5 minutes
Cooking duration: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
2½ teaspoons baking powder (for corn-free use my Grain-Free Baking Powder, or a corn-free brand)
Additional small basil leaves, optional garnish
4 large basil leaves, chopped
1 - 1½ cup(s) fresh ripe blackberries, washed and dried
2 Tablespoons unrefined virgin coconut oil, melted
¼ cup coconut sugar
1¼ cups dairy-free milk (I use unsweetened coconut milk from a carton.)
2 Tablespoons flaxseed meal (I use organic golden flaxseed meal)
250 grams (about 2 cups) King Arthur Multipurpose GF Flour (or similar GF all-purpose blend without gums, like Gigi's Everyday GF Flour)
½ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract (I use Nielsen Massey extracts; for corn-free, use a grain-free vanilla - more on this topic on the Your Questions Answered page.)
Equipment:
mixing bowl
waffle iron
whisk
sauce pan
Cooking instruction summary:
Prepare your waffle iron by preheating while you mix the batter for your waffles.In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients; whisk to blend.Add liquid ingredients to dry (it is OK if the coconut oil forms small solid bits; if your other ingredients, like the milk, are cold, this will happen). Stir until batter is mostly smooth and no dry ingredients or clumps of flour remain.Spoon batter onto lightly greased waffle iron, covering the bottom grid with batter and cook several minutes. Waffle irons vary, so cook according to the manufacturers' directions for yours; I use a Belgian waffle iron for this recipe and cook my waffles approximately 5 minutes for a lightly crisp exterior.Carefully remove waffles to a plate to keep warm and repeat cooking process until all batter is used. I get 6 Belgian-style waffles from this recipe. The yield will vary, depending on the size of your waffle iron.For the Blackberry-Basil Maple Syrup, simply combine berries and syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring and mashing berries with the back of a spoon occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by about ¼. (It will still be a rather thin syrup, like the consistency of pure maple syrup, so you're not waiting for this to thicken, just for a slight reduction.)Turn off the heat and stir in basil.Serve syrup over the waffles.
