⅚ cup (100 g) whole-grain millet flour
100 g
2 Tbsp (15 g) tigernut flour (chufa)
15 g
2 Tbsp + 2 tsp (20 g) cornstarch
20 g
1⅓ scoops (40 g) vanilla protein
40 g
1 heaping Tbsp (6 g) whole psyllium husk
6 g
5 tsp (20 g) allulose
20 g
2½ tsp (10 g) GF baking powder
10 g
⅓ tsp salt
2 g
¾ cup + 1 Tbsp (200 g) liquid egg whites
200 g
⅝ cup (150 g) unsweetened almond milk
150 g
2 tsp (8 g) olive or avocado oil
8 g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 g

Method

  1. Whisk all the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the wet in another, then combine and rest 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  2. Heat the waffle iron fully — a drop of water should skitter. An under-hot iron is why waffles come out pale and bendy.
  3. Fill three-quarters of the surface, close, and cook past the steam stage, 4–5 minutes, until deeply golden.
  4. Cool each waffle 1 minute on a wire rack (never a plate) — steam escaping is what sets the crisp shell.
  5. Serve with berries and syrup, or freeze and revive in the toaster.
