    These Grain-Free Cassava Flour Waffles are so simple to make! Cassava flour is a gluten-free, grain-free & nut-free single ingredient flour with the neutral taste and texture of wheat. It's made from the whole root of the cassava plant and is perfect for baking.

    Have You Tried Baking With Cassava Flour?

    Cassava flour seems to be all the buzz on social media! I picked it up for the first time just recently at our local organic grocery store. I was intrigued at the claims that it could used as a gluten-free and grain-free 1 to 1 substitute for wheat flour recipes, so I quickly put it to the test with an old waffle recipe from back in our gluten-filled days!

    I've only used it a few times so far, but I'm so glad I tried. Cassava flour can be pricey, but it was definitely worth it for such an easy grain-free flour substitution. My favorite brand of cassava is Otto's. I'm loving the results and will defintely be using it more frequently because of how versatile it is.

    What ingredients do I need to make these Cassava Flour Waffles?

    Besides the flour, you only need a few common pantry staples to make this easy and delicious waffle recipe! Here's what you'll need:

    • Cassava Flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Eggs
    • Coconut Oil
    • Milk
    • Cinnamon
    • Pure Vanilla Extract
    • Salt

    Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the wet ingredients and whisk well until a batter forms. You may need to add a little more milk if it's too thick. Add the batter to your waffle iron and cook as you normally would for regular waffles.

    This Cassava Flour Waffle recipe could work well for either sweet or savory waffles. For a classic sweet breakfast waffle, this recipe includes vanilla extract and cinnamon. You could also add a couple tablespoons of pure maple syrup to the batter for extra sweetness, but I like to leave the sweetness to the toppings!

    What toppings can I use for these Cassava Flour Waffles?

    One of our favorite ways to top these waffles is with this easy homemade chia seed jam. The combo of the waffles and the fresh jam is so berry delicious!

    Here are some more ideas!

    • Fresh Fruit, or a berry compote.
    • Pure Maple Syrup, or a drizzle of honey.
    • Carmelized Bananas
    • Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
    • Yogurt
    • Cream Cheese

    For a savory waffle, all you have to do is leave out the cinnamon and vanilla. Now you're ready for some chicken and waffles, fried egg & avocado, or some grain-free sandwiches!

    Don't be afraid to double this recipe and keep a stash of waffles in an airtight container in the freezer. Now, you can have grain-free waffles whenever you choose...breakfast, lunch or dinner!

      Love the flavor of these! Unfortunately they always turn out doughy inside and don't always crisp up ๐Ÿ˜•

      Thanks for this simple, delicious recipe. I made with 1 Tbs. olive oil, 1 coconut oil, I added 2 Tbs. ground flax seed for extra fiber. I did have to add extra almond milk to get the right consistency. These were crispy and perfect with homemade strawberry sauce, coconut yogurt and walnuts.

      Wonderful recipe, the only thing I always try and add a spoonful or two of chia seeds or flax seeds (to the mixer) to enhance the nutritional value.

      I would suggest bananas for the egg replacement here because I have used them in another recipe that I found called "Funfetti Cassava waffles - I believe I found that it was- Edward and Sons Trading Co. awhile back and I adapted it since I am unable to have eggs because they give me terrible headaches for years ! This was a great idea I'd looked up "vegan egg substitute " and it listed " bananas " on there.

        Bananas are a great idea! Although they can add a lot of sweetness and banana flavor, but if that's what you're looking for-go for it! Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ™‚

        Hi. I tried the recipe but it was very runny and didn't cook well. Was I supposed to use 1 cup of almond milk instead of 1.5? Or is it the type of Cassava flour I used?

          Hi Norma, actually most reviews have noted that they had to add a little more milk than called for. It could be the type of flour or the kind of milk you're using as fat content can play a role in how thick or thin the milk is. I always suggest starting out slow until you get the batter consistency you're looking for. you can always add more but it's hard to go backwards. Hope this helps and that you try the recipe again!

      thank you for posting I am trying to cut back on nuts and use almond flour a lot. the only thing I changed was I used avocado oil instead of coconut oil because my cholesterol is on the high side.
      very tasty

        Hi Kenzie, so sorry I am just seeing your message. I have not tried replacing eggs in this recipe, but you could definitly try an egg replacer, or use about 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar. Feel free to send me a message on instagram or facebook anytime and I will get back to you faster! Please let me know if you try something that works!

      These Cassava waffles are great. I used a combo of almond and oat milk, more then called for, which made 7 waffles. Top with peaches, blueberries, and pecans for the win!!!
