Looking for a gluten and sugar free waffle for breakfast, brunch or snacking? Try this one.

ABOUT THE RECIPE 

I wanted some waffles but really did not want the heaviness from flour. For lack of oat flour at the moment, I grabbed corn meal. I also wasn’t in the mood for sugar, thus the pineapple and sweetcorn supplied the sweetness this waffle needed.

Full Recipe in Details

Like other waffle recipes, this one isn’t rocket science. It’s quick and easy to prepare. This waffles are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

You will need a blender or a food processor. If using a blender, you may choose to fully blend pineapple and sweetcorn or pulse to retain small chunks of pineapples and sweetcorn.  With a food processor, you don’t have to worry about finely blending.

No flavoring was used. The flavor from fresh pineapples sips through the waffles and the sweetness is enhanced with the addition of salt to the recipe.
