My mom was visiting last week and she is allergic (not sensitive or intolerant but seriously allergic to all grains, including the gluten free ones). She can't have corn, wheat, or rice. She's also allergic to all tree nuts so no almond flour either, but I was determined to make her some fun things to eat. This is one of the recipes I came up with.
Notice I use quinoa flour - quinoa is considered a grain, but technically it's a seed so we did a little experiment and she can have quinoa. Yeah.
I was surprised at how great the texture is on these - there's no heaviness, no grittiness.. They're perfectly smooth and crispy at the same time.
Here it is:
1 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/2 t guar gum
Mix these dry ingredients together.
Then add:
1 cup milk (I use almond but my mom uses regular milk - either works great)
1 cup water
2 eggs, beaten or 1/2 cup of egg substitute
4 T coconut oil
1 T honey
1 t vanilla
Mix all together and put in sprayed waffle iron. You'll probably need to re-spray your iron about halfway through.
Yummy!
