These Gluten-Free Waffles are just what you would expect in a regular waffle. They are soft and chewy on the inside and have that great crunch on the outside when you bite into it. You’ll need fewer than 10 ingredients and 20 minutes for a delicious, gluten-free breakfast any day of the week!
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.

Hi! Could you use rice or coconut milk instead of regular milk?
Hi Irene, I haven’t tried it but I’m pretty sure either would work just fine!
Could I use canola oil instead of vegetable oil?
Hi Marla. Yes you can!
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes you can no problem!
Oh, I forgot to add that I cut the sugar by half, would be too sweet for me but still taste great.
The best waffle recipe ever! Thanks Amy!
Thanks Carrie! 🙂
After making this easy recipe and eating these waffles, I stopped buying frozen gluten free waffles. These waffles are crispy on the outside and moist inside, just like my waffles I used to make with wheat flour (separating the eggs, folding in the whites, making a crispy waffle). For me this gluten free waffle recipe is the closest to my old great waffles. Thank you.

My waffle iron broke so made pancakes with this recipe and they were very fluffy. Slight bitter taste so wondering if the baking powder could be reduced to 1tsp. Still tastes good covered in butter and maple syrup.
Hi Michael, I’m sure you could reduce the baking powder. Sorry for the late response!
Thanks. I’ve omitted the salt now. My waffle iron broke but have been using this recipe to make pancakes and they are amazing ?
And reduced the baking powder ?
Awesome, thanks for letting me know! 🙂
I made these and they are AMAZING! This is the first gluten free waffle recipe that has actually turned out for me. I will definitely be keeping this recipe for a very long time. Hope they work out for you as well! 🙂

Hi Josie! They really are the best I’ve had too. I can’t even tell the difference between them and a regular waffle. I’m so glad you enjoyed them. Happy New Year!
I’ve found gluten-free waffles can be as good as or better than traditional waffles. These look yummy! Oat flour works great in GF waffles as well
great pictures
Thanks Big Guy
Gluten free baked goods are surprisingly light in texture. I have yet to try waffles, and yours are really making me want to. Your photos are gorgeous!
Waffles are a favorite for my little boys – we’ll have to try these since my husband and I both generally avoid gluten. Love the animated syrup pouring shot!

Thank you Elizabeth 🙂 I hope you enjoy them!
