Quinoa & Oat Waffles (Gluten-Free & Vegan)

I have been trying to make Gluten-Free and vegan waffles that are nutrient dense for a while. Honestly I was so over joyed when these babies turned out great.

It’s kind of challenging when it comes to traditional baking – to bake without eggs and conventional flours.

These waffles don’t have any binders but by using the apple cider vinegar with the combination of baking soda creates a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide and gives the waffles a lift as they cook.

These waffle are very filling and dense compare to traditional waffles and they leave you feeling great after eating them.

I often make a triple batch and freeze for later. You just need to pop them in a toaster and they’re good to go.

WHY I LOVE THESE GLUTEN-FREE VEGAN WAFFLES

These Quinoa-Oat waffles,

• Contain minimal ingredients and are easy to make
• Are easy on digestion
• Are packed with plant protein and fiber
• Contains slow digesting carbohydrate such as quinoa, therefore they don’t necessarily spike the blood sugar
• Can be frozen and toasted for a delicious breakfast

I hope you make these on the weekend and impress your friends/family or even yourself. Enjoy!
