So, at first there were my ingenious Belgian waffles (sugar-, gluten-, dairy-free, low carb with stevia), which we loved and had several evenings in a row, but… they still contained eggs, and I wished to develop this recipe so my vegan friends and readers can enjoy it, too! 🙂
I had to make some compromise with this one, as the binding agents that can make up for the eggs usually are high in carbs. So these waffles are not that lowcarb as the previous one but still sugar-free, rich in fibers and low glycemic!
Ingredients for 6 pieces:
50g buckwheat (flour)*
60g white rice flour
140g brown rice flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon stevia powder
a pinch of ground cinnamon
60g coconut oil
450g water
*Buckwheat flour I usually grind myself in a small coffee mill.
Please remember that I do not use measurements in grams and not cups to annoy you but to make my recipes precise and reproducible. Trust me, it is worth investing in a kitchen scale: The Gluten Free Girl and The Gluten Free Vegan Girl also agree. 😉
- Mix liquid ingredients: coconut oil and water. Heat slightly if coconut oil is solid.
- Combine solid ingredients in a mixing bowl: flours, cinnamon, baking soda, stevia powder.
- Pour liquids to solids and work through well. Set aside to rest for a couple of minutes.
- Time to heat your waffle iron machine and oil it with some coconut oil. I noticed that it’s very important with this batter that you oil the waffle every single time you pour in a new portion!
- It takes more time for these waffles to be done compared to ones made with eggs. You may think that they stuck to the waffle iron but be patient: once ready they will let go. 🙂
There you go: tasty, crunchy, gluten-free and vegan waffles. I make the lowcarb version quite often: a nice brunch at the weekends, or something to cover the evenings when we run out of our gluten-free, whole grain bread.
These waffles contain approx. 31g CH/serving.

What could I use in place of coconut? My little one doesn't tolerate coconut along with the other ingredients you've omitted. Thank you!
Hi,
Try any other oil of your liking: coconut oil is a personal choice here, not specifically needed for this recipe to work. Just don't forget to oil the waffle iron every single time! Have fun! 🙂
