Blueberry Buckwheat Waffles

These waffles actually started out as a pancake recipe from a friend who also has an allergic child, like my daughter, but I ended up deciding to make blueberry waffles with it as I hadn't done any waffles in a while.  

The original recipe also stated to use white buckwheat flour which I could not find and they still turned out delicious with this darker version.  

I cooked the whole batch and refrigerated the rest.  If you like a sweeter waffle or pancake you can add a bit of your preferred granulated sweetener.

Blueberry Buckwheat Waffles

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups rice milk or water (or any liquid)
3 tablespoons oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup blueberries

Directions

1. Mix all dry ingredients with a whisk.

2. Add in the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. 

3. Spray your waffle iron well with cooking spray and pour about 1/2 cup mixture until the wells are filled.  Top with blueberries and close the lid of the waffle iron until cooked through.

***Please note that when I state “allergy free” this is my attempt at gluten, egg, dairy, soy, peanut and cod fish free which are the allergies my daughter has. I am not a doctor or registered dietitian.

You know, I really like the color of those waffles!
I bet they're perfect since you don't want too
sweet when you top with maple syrup anyway.
Great job!

I've actually been looking for a decent gluten-free recipe for waffles (to share with readers -- I get this question a lot on my blog!) I'll have to try this!

Wow, I love this recipe! I will certainly try it! Thanks so much for sharing!
I love buckwheat as cereal and also in breads and even as a pizza dough (a pretty good pizza dough, actually http://cookingrookie.blogspot.com/2010/01/sun-dried-tomato-and-roast-beef-pizza.html), but I never heard about buckwheat waffles.
