Fudgy chocolate and orange are two flavors that just naturally go together. These waffles are irresistible to children - and adults too!
Makes eight 4-1/2-inch (11 cm) waffles
(1 per serving)
- Waffle maker, lightly greased, then preheated
2/3 cup (150 mL) sorghum flour
1/4 cup (25 mL) whole bean flour
2 tablespoons (25 mL) tapioca starch
2/3 cup (175 mL) white (granulated) sugar
1/2 cup (125 mL) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) xanthan gum
2-1/4 teaspoon (11 mL) GF baking powder
2/3 teaspoon (4 mL) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) salt
2 tablespoons (25 mL) grated orange zest
2 eggs, separated
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) plain yogurt
1/4 cup (50 mL) vegetable oil
In a large bowl or plastic bag, combine sorghum flour, whole bean flour, tapioca starch, sugar, cocoa powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt and orange zest. Mix well and set aside.
In a small bowl, using an electric mixer, preferably with wire whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry.
In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks, yogurt and oil until combined. Add dry ingredients and beat until smooth. Fold in beaten egg whites.
Pour in enough batter to fill preheated waffle maker two-thirds full. Close lid and cook for 7 to 9 minutes or until no longer steaming. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing waffle maker between waffles as necessary.
