Gluten free, dairy free waffles

I have been experimenting with my gf/df waffle recipe for a LONG time.  Like a couple of years, but I think I finally got it right!  It makes a perfect belgian waffle.

2 cups brown rice flour
3 cups tapioca flour
2 tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt 4 eggs
3 1/2 cups almond milk
1 cup cooking oil
1 tsp xanthan gum

Yummy!

Oatmeal cinnamon pancakes

I don't have a picture of these delicious pancakes, but I did some experimenting, and came up with this recipe.  Sometimes experimenting pays off and sometimes it REALLY doesn't.  This it did!  I like a nice thick, dense pancake, and the none of the recipes I was using quite added up to that.  So here's our new favorite pancakes, dubbed The Best Ever by the kids.

Gluten filled version:
2 cups flour
2 tbs sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tspsalt
2 eggs
2 cups milk
2 tbs cooking oil
1 cup oats (I used quick)
1 tsp cinnamon

Gluten/dairy free version:
2 cups brown rice flour
1 cup tapioca flour
1 cup oats
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbs sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 cups almond milk (or whatever other milk substitute you like)
2 tbs cooking oil

Usually I add xanthan gum to my gf recipes to help them stick together, but I'm pretty sure this one was fine without it.  I honestly don't remember adding it.
