Amazing Gluten-free Waffles

Love these waffles.  They are great for breakfast or dinner.  Double the batch and freeze any extras with a toaster compatible size in mind.  I usually freeze any extras with parchment paper as a separator.  Great with nuts or dried fruit added to the batter.

The 100% fruit is St. Dalfour available in local grocery stores or online at vitacost.com (referral link).

My staples include Bob's Red Mill flours, baking soda and arrowroot powder.
