Gluten-Free Cinnamon Sugar Waffles with Cereal Milk Ice Cream

Ingredients:

For the Waffles:

1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (make sure it contains xanthan gum)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder (make sure it’s gluten-free)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk (use dairy or dairy-free, such as almond or oat milk)
1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil (for dairy-free)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar:

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Toppings:

1 pint Four All’s Cereal Milk Ice Cream

Instructions:

1. Make the Waffles:

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk.
Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a little melted butter. Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover the surface (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on your waffle iron). Close the iron and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Cinnamon sugar coating: While the waffles are still warm, mix together the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl. Immediately dip each waffle in the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure to coat both sides.

2. Assemble the Dish:

Place a hot, cinnamon-sugar-coated waffle on each plate.
Scoop a generous amount of Cereal Milk Ice Cream on top of each waffle.
Optional: Drizzle with more cinnamon sugar, maple syrup, or sprinkle with crushed cereal for extra crunch.

Tips:

You can make the waffles ahead of time and reheat them in the oven to maintain their crispiness before serving.
If you're feeling extra, top the waffles with some fresh fruit or a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce.
