Coconut Milk Brings Creaminess

I stumbled upon this revelation a while back when I was experimenting in the kitchen, and let me tell you, I haven’t looked back since. Coconut milk brings this incredible creaminess and a hint of tropical flavor that takes your waffles to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Simple Steps for Dairy-Free Delight

This dairy-free waffle recipe is not only a game-changer but also opens the door to a world of possibilities. So, let’s break it down step by step.

Substituting for Milk: Coconut Milk to the Rescue

• In a large mixing bowl, gather your wet ingredients. Forget about cow’s milk – we are going all in with coconut milk. Pour it into the bowl along with your egg yolks, coconut oil, and vanilla. 
• Up next, combine your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl until you’ve got a cup of batter that dreams are made of – keep it simple with the basics: Einkorn flour,(Einkorn flour is a low-gluten ancient grain that is wonderful for those with gluten sensitivities: I would not recommend for celiac disease however)  coconut sugar, baking powder, and Himalayan salt, and mix well. 
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined and no lumps remain.
• Now, for the star of the show: coconut milk! This dairy-free champion will give your waffle batter a delightful texture and golden brown finish. Mix it up until you achieve that perfect, smooth consistency.

I do not use cooking spray on my Cuisinart Belgian waffle maker but feel free to add it. We want those waffles to slide right out with ease. Pour the batter onto the hot iron and let it work its magic.

As your waffles cook to golden perfection, you’ll be drooling over the aroma filling your kitchen. It’s a delicious breakfast in the making, my friends!

Indulge in Gluten-Free Delight: Einkorn Flour Belgian Waffles (for gluten sensitivity)

If you’re looking to indulge in some delicious Belgian waffles but need to keep it gluten-free due to sensitivity, I’ve got just the solution for you! Einkorn flour made by Jovial is a fantastic option because it has naturally low gluten properties, making it a great choice for those with gluten sensitivity. (I would not recommend it for celiac disease) By using einkorn flour in your Belgian waffle recipe, you can still enjoy that fluffy texture and mouthwatering taste without any gluten-related worries. Simply substitute einkorn flour for the regular wheat flour in your recipe, and you’re all set to whip up some irresistible gluten-free Belgian waffles that everyone will love!
