Ingredients Needed

My homemade cornbread waffles recipe uses minimal, easy to find ingredients for ease. Here's what you'll need:

• Cornmeal: All you need as the base of this recipe is cornmeal. This is a naturally gluten free way to make delicious waffles. I like Arrowhead Mills!
• Canned Coconut Milk: The canned coconut milk is thick and has lots of flavor. Before opening the can, shake the can to make sure the milk is a cohesive mixture.
• Baking Powder: A bit of baking powder helps to make these waffles nice and fluffy!
• Optional: Option here to add some vegan butter and maple syrup to the batter for extra flavor. Then, top the waffles off with vegan butter and maple syrup along with all of your favorite waffle toppings!

How to Make This Recipe

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, mix the canned coconut milk and baking powder. Stir in the Arrowhead Mills cornmeal and mix until a smooth batter forms. Option to add melted vegan mutter and maple syrup to the batter if preferred.

Step 2: Spoon the batter into a hot waffle iron that has been sprayed with coconut oil spray. Cook each waffle until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per waffle.

Expert Tips
