Gluten-free chocolate walnut waffles

I’ve been venturing into the world of gluten-free or, at least, gluten reduced. (A naturopathic practitioner suggested it to me, and my digestive system is so much more happy now.) So I've recently starting creating gluten-free versions of my favorite recipes. This one is adapted from my double-chocolate waffles. In my humble opinion, I think it works out quite well.

Gluten-free chocolate walnut waffles 

Makes approximately 5 waffles.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 cup almond milk - storebought or homemade
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 Tbsp cocoa
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

• Heat waffle iron.
• Whisk egg.
• Beat in remaining ingredients (just until smooth), stirring in walnuts at the end.
• Pour batter onto waffle iron.
• Cook approx 3 minutes, then remove.

Variation: For chocolate coconut walnut waffles, substitute coconut oil for the canola oil.
