Gluten-Free Animal Waffles

These Adorable Maple Pecan Breakfast Cakes are Shaped Like Farm Animals

— October 13, 2015 — Lifestyle
Not only are these homemade waffles gluten-free and sweet, they are also creatively shaped like various animals you might find at a farm giving this breakfast meal a whimsical and rustic aesthetic.

These waffles begin with a batter made from a blend of gluten-free flour mixed with butter milk, eggs, vanilla, butter, oat flour and baking powder. To that pumpkin spice is added for an aromatic flavorful twist as well as a third of a cup of chopped pecans. The waffles are then cooked in a waffle maker and served. These are ideal for anyone with a gluten-intolerance or that is choosing to stay clear from gluten for dietary reasons as these waffles don't skimp on flavor despite the use of a gluten-free flour. If you want to get creative you can create different shapes such as these farm animals.
