Ingredients

1.5 cups chickpea flour

1.33 cups water
Optional: 2 tablespoons (30 mL) vegetable oil (your choice of type; sub with more water for oil-free)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the water (and optional 2 tablespoons oil, or additional 2 tablespoons water), whisking until blended and smooth. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Preheat a standard waffle maker to medium-high heat.
Spray the plates of the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray (no need to do this if the waffle iron is nonstick). Ladle or pour in about 1/2 cup (118 mL) batter.
Cook the waffle according to waffle maker directions (for most makers, until a light changes color). The waffles should be a deep golden color (adjust settings as needed).
Remove waffle and repeat with remaining batter.

Notes

Keep the waffles warm: You can keep the waffles warm in a 200˚F oven as you prepare all of the waffles.

Storage: Store the completely cooled waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or the freezer for up to 6 months. Rewarm the waffles by toasting (pop-up toaster or toaster oven).

Flavor Additions: See the post above for flavor ideas, such as spices, extracts, and replacing the water with milk.

Addition Options: Consider adding up to 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, finely chopped dried fruits (e.g., raisins, dried cranberries, finely chopped nuts or seeds to the waffles. I suggest you do not add directly to the batter, since it is a thin batter (the add-ins will sink). Instead, ladle in the batter as decribed in step 3, and sprinkle with a heaping tablespoon (more or less) of your chosen addition. Close the lid and cook!
