Waffles | Vegan-Gluten free | YouTube

Happy Wednesday my lovelies! It's the middle of the week and this is usually when I start feeling that it's halfway through the work week and if you're anything like myself I enjoy a lovely pick-me-up. Luckily I got a fantastic waffle-maker /grill for Christmas that I have been longing to put to use and today's the day! Let's make some lovely, crisp waffles with a berry compote and a dollop of cream! Check out my video below.

Serves 4 people.

What you need for waffles:

2 dl (0.8 cups) mineral water

2 1/2 dl (1 cup) vegan cream

4 dl (1.6 cups) flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp sugar

50g butter (for baking)

What you need for berry compote:

300g mixed berries

1 dl sugar

1 tsp vanilla sugar

1 tsp tapioca flour (if you wish to thicken it more)

In a bowl add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and whisk until combined. In a separate bowl whisk the cream until thick and then fold it into the flour mixture.

Allow the batter to swell a little while the waffle iron is brought to temperature.

Coat the iron with some butter and then add about 1/2- 1 dl (0.2-0.4 cups) batter and bake them until golden brown.

Add berries, sugar and vanilla sugar in a pot and bring it to a boil on medium high heat and allow to boil for 5 minutes with a lid on. Now add the tapioca and give it a stir until the compote has thickened.

Serve the waffles with the compote and a dollop of whipped cream.
