Call Me Jelly Because I'm on a Roll - I Mean Gluten Free Waffle

I've been experimenting for a while with a new waffle maker.  Our most recent recipe is a gluten free one which goes along nicely with a topping of Trader Joe's or other high quality raspberry jam.  Batter ingredients: 2 cups of buckwheat flour, 4 teaspoons of baking power, 2 eggs, 4 teaspoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of agave or honey, 1 table spoon of vanilla extract, 1 1/3 cups of milk (goat milk works very well), and 1/3 cup of canola oil.  Mix the wet ingredients first, then stir in the dry ingredients.  Add to waffle iron and proportion as needed.  These come out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside without too much density.  They also heat up very well in a toaster oven or regular pop-up toaster.  Kids love 'em.

These are pretty easy to make.  I can generally prepare them from start to finish in about 1/2 an hour including cooking time.  Enjoy!
