Ingredients

Servings 4
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour, certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large apple, peeled and grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk, dairy or unsweetened dairy-free alternative
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or neutral oil for the waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer instructions so it is fully hot before the batter goes in.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the buckwheat flour, cinnamon, gluten-free baking powder, and salt.
  3. Stir the grated apple into the dry ingredients so the shreds are lightly coated with flour.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few small lumps are fine and help keep the waffles tender.
  6. Lightly grease the hot waffle iron with cooking spray or neutral oil.
  7. Add enough batter to fill the waffle grid without overflowing, usually about 1/3 to 1/2 cup depending on your waffle iron.
  8. Close the waffle iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the waffle is golden, crisp at the edges, and releases easily.
  9. Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack while you repeat with the remaining batter.
  10. Serve warm with maple syrup, yogurt, fruit, or extra cinnamon.
