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.

I altered this recipe a little bit to make it egg-free and dairy-free and they turned out light and crispy, just like a perfect waffle should be. Alterations I made:
1. Combine 1.5 cups of almond milk with 3 tablespoons of white vinegar, whisk, set aside for 5 mins to make buttermilk.
2. Add 2 tsp baking soda to original recipe
3. Leave off eggs (baking soda reacts with the vinegar to give rising effects).
Enjoy!!!
1st time making now my go to. My son is gluten-free so I made these for him and a regular batch for everyone else. We all went for these and they were gone first. They are delicious, crispy and moist. And unlike other recipes I’ve tried, not gritty or grainy at all.
Awesome!!
