Ingredients
  

  • ¾ c millet flour
  • ¾ c sweet white or glutinous rice flour finely ground
  • ½ c potato starch
  • ⅓ c tapioca starch
  • 2 tablespoon organic sugar
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 vanilla bean seeds scraped out, pod reserved
  • 2 cups well shaken buttermilk room temp (can also use almond or coconut milk)
  • ⅓ c melted and slightly cooled coconut oil
  • 3 eggs separated room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ - 2 c pomegranate arils
  • Optional: pure maple syrup and Greek yogurt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients and whisk to thoroughly combine. Add in the vanilla bean seeds and rub with your fingers into some of the flour mix to break it up and distribute evenly into the mixture.
  • In a separate bowl whisk the egg yolks with the vanilla, add in the buttermilk (or other milk of choice) and whisk. Add in the coconut oil and whisk again to try to incorporate it as best you can, there will be some that doesn’t mix in, that’s ok. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix well until there are almost no lumps left and all the dry ingredients are well moistened. Whip the egg whites until medium-stiff peaks form then gently fold into the rest of the batter. Fold in the pomegranate arils and let rest for 5 min.
  • Heat up a waffle iron and spray with sunflower or safflower oil, spoon or ladle in batter (amount varies depends on waffle iron size and brand) and cook according to directions. Serve hot with pure maple syrup, Greek yogurt and more pomegranate arils

Notes

I have a Krups Belgian waffle maker and it makes 4 large square waffles at a time, and I used a heaping half of a cup of batter for each well. Makes 12 waffles in my waffle maker. Also I know that gluten free flours and starches need to be measured and not weighed but I was lazy and just measured and this recipe has come out perfect twice now. So measuring is fine.
