Apple Cinnamon 1 Ingredient Waffles: Gluten-Free, Vegan, Scrumptious Style

Just because I’m Jewish doesn’t mean my family doesn’t do something special Christmas morning ;-).  These babies are light and fluffy, with the perfect chewy to crispy-ness ratio.  So warm and satisfying.  Crowd-pleaser approved.

The one essential ingredient for this recipe? MOCHI!

Mochi is traditionally seen in japanese cuisine, and this Grainaissance brand is literally just brown rice!  But it puffs up like an incredible puffed pastry!  You can buy it unflavored, or savory, I like the cinnamon raisin one for waffles. 🙂

Apple Cinnamon Topping:

• a grated apple
• grated ginger (to taste- start small! this stuff is powerful 🙂
• a drop of vanilla
• cinnamon
• a handful of chopped walnuts
• mix well!

Serve with fresh berries, cinnamon, and real maple syrup :-*

* Magic! *
