Gingerbread Waffles

Okay guys I've finally cracked the waffle magic, after numerous attempts and adjustments here we are just in time for Christmas. The gingerbread really comes through in these and I'm excited to try them out as plain waffles as well. They also happen to be gluten-free as well as vegan. 

This may be the last recipe of 2017 and i just wanted to write a little note of reflection for this year has been fantastic to say the least, my instagram page following has doubled this year and i get to interact with so many more of you! which i love by the way its the best part! I used to run a blog called beautyandthebakes which i know many of you must be from, relaunching as theplantifulchef has been the best decision and getting to have more say so over the design of my blog was the best way to go. Right I've waffled enough now... get it waffled... ahhh 2018 you hold so many more corny jokes. Let get into the recipe folks, its why we are all here. 

1/2 cup almond flour 

1/2 cup buckwheat flour 

1/4 rice flour 

1tsp baking soda 

1/2 tsp baking powder 

1tsp cinnamon 

1tsp ginger 

1/4tsp cloves 

1/4tsp nutmeg 

splash of vanilla 

3/4 cup milk + 1tsp apple cider vinegar 

1tbs coconut oil 

1tbs molasses 

1tbs agave 

4 tbs aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)

Place all vinegar in with the milk and set to the side. Mix up all of your dry ingredients well. Whip up your aquafaba into stiff peaks and set aside. Now the milk should have curdled a little, add in your vanilla, agave and molasses. Now its time to mix everything together, first place your wet ingredients into your dry and mix well. Then fold in your whipped up chickpea water. Now preheat your waffle maker and follow the manufacturers instructions. This made around 8 individual mini waffles for me.
