$\"Gingerbread$

free of gluten and top 8 allergens<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh my gosh, do we love waffles. Well, they’re so much fun! You can stuff ’em, make sandwiches, s’mores, pizzas, parfaits, and ice cream sundaes…not to mention the unlimited flavors.<\/p>\n

And when we think of the holidays, gingerbread always comes to mind.\u00a0So how about gingerbread waffles with apple compote to add some sugar and spice to your morning?<\/p>\n

We’re in!<\/p>\n

Let’s start by making a quick apple compote.<\/p>\n

$\"Apple$

mise en place for apple compote<\/p><\/div>\n

Peel, core, and dice apples. Granny Smith apples are one of our go-to apples for cooking and baking. The tart apples keep their shape when cooked. Other favorites for cooking and baking are Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Jonathan.<\/p>\n

Cover and cook the apples in a little dairy-free, soy-free butter until tender, about 7-10 minutes. Add cinnamon-sugar and cook another 3 minutes, uncovered. Set aside while making the waffles. The apple compote can be made several days in advance.<\/p>\n

$\"Allergen$ <\/p>\n

For the waffles, preheat your waffle iron.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, whisk together GF all-purpose flour blend, brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, xanthan gum, and salt.<\/p>\n
In another medium bowl, make flax eggs by whisking together water and ground flaxseed meal. To the flax eggs, add alternative milk, pure pumpkin puree, butter, molasses, and cider vinegar. Whisk to combine.<\/p>\n
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.<\/p>\n
Lightly coat waffle iron with non-stick spray (if the manufacturer recommends) and pour about 2\/3 to 1 cup of batter onto the grid, depending on the size of your waffle iron. You should cover 2\/3’s of the grid surface. Close the lid and cook until waffle is crisp and brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

Serve immediately, or hold in warm oven while cooking the remaining waffles.<\/p>\n
These waffles can be made ahead and stored in the freezer. When it’s time for breakfast, just pop them in the toaster.<\/p>\n

Top with apple compote and drizzle with maple syrup. Ahhh…a dream breakfast!<\/p>\n
They’re also fantastic just served simply with some maple syrup, or the perfect foundation for poached pears, bananas, whipped coconut cream, or apple butter.<\/a><\/p>\n

For best results, don’t be tempted to open the lid until the waffles are cooked and your waffle maker says it’s okay, by way of an indicator light or beeping. If your waffle iron doesn’t have an indicator as to when it’s done, watch the steam coming out of the unit as the waffle is cooking. When the steam stops, the waffle should be done.<\/li>\n
Be sure to read the instruction manual for your waffle iron. Different waffle irons are designed to cook waffles differently. See what your manufacturer says about coating grids with cooking spray. Many of the newer models advise not to use cooking spray.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
