Baking Soda (1/2 Teaspoon)
Baking Powder (1 1/2 Teaspoons)
Cinnamon (1/2 Teaspoon)
Sea Salt (3/4 Teaspoon)
Orange Zest (2 Teaspoons, Divided)
Almond Milk (1 1/2 Cups, Gum-Free)
Apple Cider Vinegar (2 Teaspoons)

Fresh Cranberries (1/2 Cup + 1/4 Cup)
STEPS:
Prepare the Buttermilk Substitute:
In a medium bowl, combine the oats and apple cider vinegar.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to create a thicker “buttermilk” substitute.
Make Oat Flour:
Blend the oats into a fine flour using a food processor or high-speed blender.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together oat flour, gluten-free 1:1 flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and orange zest until well combined.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
Once the buttermilk substitute is ready, add orange juice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mixture.
Whisk thoroughly until fully incorporated.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually mix the wet ingredient mixture into the dry flour mixture.
Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Cook the Waffles:
Preheat your waffle maker.
Pour an equal amount of batter into the waffle maker for consistent sizing and cook until golden brown.
Prepare the Cranberry Compote:
In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, maple syrup, and orange zest.
Cook over high heat until the mixture boils and cranberries begin to pop.
Continue cooking until the compote reaches your desired consistency, keeping in mind it will thicken as it cools.
Serve:
Serve the waffles warm, topped with butter and cranberry compote.
Pair with your favorite side of protein like eggs, bacon, or ham for a complete meal.
Enjoy your delicious creation!
