Gluten-free waffles
Listen to me friends ... these waffles are insanely good! As they are cooking on the waffle iron, the smell of vanilla and cinnamon permeate the air leaving your entire house smelling heavenly! Add a little fruit, some butter and syrup and you've got yourself a delicious and satisfying breakfast that your whole family will love.
Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Gluten-Free Waffles:
- This recipe calls for a gluten-free all purpose flour blend that's easy to make and store for future recipes. If you cook and bake gluten-free, it's well worth the time and effort to make it for yourself.
- I've used the following, easy to find, gluten-free flour blends with great success: •Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
•Pamela's Products Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend •Pillsbury BEST Multi-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend. - Cook the waffles for around 5 minutes. Once there is no longer steam coming from the waffle maker, the waffles are generally ready to remove. For a crispier crust, leave them a minute or two longer before removing.
- These waffles are good enough to eat plain, but are especially delicious topped with extras like berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, jelly, syrup, chocolate ... the possibilities are endless!
- Gluten-Free Waffles can be frozen and reheated. Store in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3-4 months. When ready to serve, let them thaw in the fridge and heat them in the oven on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until warm throughout, microwave for one minute or use a toaster oven.

Absolutely delicious. I didn’t have buttermilk so I just added a bit of vinegar to the milk-the only thing I changed from the recipe.
Such an easy recipe- no need to whip egg whites separately. Just mix everything together - follow the recipe! I actually love these waffles more than my “regular” waffle recipe I have used for years before recently needing to go gf. These stayed perfectly crisp.
My gf granddaughter and I were so thrilled. And my husband thought they were delicious. No need to make two batches (one gf and a regular flour batch).
Thank you for this recipe. Definitely a keeper!!

Wow! I am new to gluten free. I was going to make my hubby a separate gluten filled brand but decided just to make these and we were not disappointed! Really amazing and the only waffle we will ever make in the future! Thank you!!!!

Lovely recipe; I’m the only gluten free one in my family (since 2012!) and I bake a lot, but just haven’t made waffles in a long time. They were all I could ask for and my kids piled theirs with berries and never knew they were gluten free, until I ate them haha. Thank you so much!!

Delicious, no substitutions, my gluten free wife loved them, and so did i
WC says
I made these for a friend who is gluten free. They are better than my regular Belgian waffles.
Sharon D says
This is the first time I've made gluten free waffles and I couldn't have found a better recepie!!! I used Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 and you couldn't even tell. AMAZING!!!!
Mackenzie says
Love this recipe! Been making it for years and it’s a big hit with my extended family. I make it dairy free by substituting the buttermilk with a non-dairy buttermilk made from mixing almond milk and white vinegar. My very pick toddler loves these waffles too!
Kate Baldwin says
This is a really versatile base recipe that still makes a good final product even after playing around with some substitutions. It's great to find an easy recipe for waffles that doesn't require separating eggs and folding in beaten egg whites! It's a bit salty so next time I'll cut the salt in half. I make my own yogurt and always have leftover whey on hand, which makes a great buttermilk substitute that's high in protein and probiotic as well. I also doubled the cinnamon and swapped half the GF flour blend with brown teff flour, which I always do to add more fiber and nutrients. Even with all my swaps this recipe made a great waffle.
Alexandra Avice says
Honestly the best gf waffle I've made. I put some orange peel in the batter and it's amazing!!
Samantha Petch says
These waffles are awesome. I've struggled over the years to find a decent recipe for waffles and pancakes that's not too time consuming, and doesn't require full shopping list of ingredients. I added a handful of fresh blueberries and they were amazing.
Jeannie says
I’ve made a lot of so-so GF waffle recipes, and a couple pretty’s terrible recipes, but I have finally found a keeper! These were delicious, and the perfect waffle texture! I did the almond milk w/ lemon juice substitute, cut the salt in half, and used Bob’s 1 to 1 flour. We made them in both a Belgian waffle iron and a regular. We preferred the regular, but both worked well. These are like waffles from the good ol’ wheat flour days. Yummy!!!
Warren Hurt says
This is a highly recommended recipe. Simple and foolproof! I also used lemon juice and a non-dairy alternative instead of buttermilk with great success. Thank you for sharing this treat!
Kristin says
Agreed these are the best GF waffles I have made. I didn’t have buttermilk so made them with 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup plain yogurt. Perfect.
Ali says
Can whole milk or half and half be used in place of the buttermilk?im not feeling a grocery run:(
Amy Duska says
Yes it can 🙂
Gracie says
My sister and I loved these! I subbed in coconut milk with 1 1/2 T apple cider vinegar for the buttermilk. Turned out amazing. Thanks for the recipe!!
KP says
Best gluten free waffles I have tried yet! And I've been making gf recipes for several years. Substituted 1/2 cup of applesauce for part of the buttermilk. Perfect texture and delicious!
Michelle says
These are delicious. I made them for my grandkids and they LOVED them. I did what another reviewer suggested. I added lemon juice to Almond milk in place of buttermilk to make them dairy free. They puff up beautifully.
Kathy says
My new go to waffle recipe! The were delicious, light and fluffy AND did NOT stick to the waffle iron! I had no buttermilk so I substituted 1 1/3 tbsp lemon juice + almond milk to measure 1 1/2 cups. Two of us ate the entire batch
