JC & Donovan's Awesome Waffles (Gluten free)

I've decided to share with all 2-3 of my readers the recipe for the awesome waffles Donovan and I have one day of every sinlge weekend (the other day we eat hot cakes, and I'm not sure I'm ready to give out that recipe).

Ok, ingredients:

3 eggs
2 cups milk w/ 2tbsp vinegar. We sometimes use Almond milk.
¼ cup oil
3 tbsp agave or maple syrup, or honey

2 cups brown rice flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
Cinnamon (I leave this up to Donovan, who goes nuts with the shaker)

How to:
*Fire up the waffle iron. This here is the waffle iron we got. We usually set it on 3.

*In the meantime, mix wet ingredients, mix dry ingredients.
*Pour wet on dry ingredients, mix gently.
*Throw on waffle iron (we use ¼ cup batter per waffle).
*Wait impatiently, fork and knife in hand.
*Pour maple syrup in each little square. Cut. Enjoy.
*Ponder whether inventor of waffles/waffle iron has received nobel prize.

This makes ~18 waffles. I usually eat ~8, and I am well fueled for a workout. If the workout lasts ~1.5-2hrs, I use water+NUUN. Over 2hrs (and depending on the effort), I switch to water+EFS (grape flavor, please). For a while now I’ve been trying out First Endurance’s low carb strategy for my lower intensity sessions.


And when the workout is over, I usually whip out the toaster to have waffle seconds. That’s how we do it at the Ramirez household.
