A cherished family recipe for light, fluffy, and delicious gluten-free waffles, perfected to ensure everyone can enjoy Sunday breakfast traditions without gluten. These easy-to-make waffles taste just like classic ones, making them a family favorite even for those without sensitivities.

  • Total Time: 40 mins
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Salt
2 Large Eggs
1 ¼ cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
¼ cup Melted Unsalted Butter (or coconut oil)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Waffle Iron: Plug in your waffle iron. Preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the grids with cooking spray or melted butter, even if it's non-stick. This ensures your gluten free waffles release easily
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Then, add the milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine. Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can make your gluten free waffles tough. This is a crucial step for light, fluffy gluten free waffles
  5. Rest the Batter (Optional but Recommended): Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the gluten-free flour to hydrate fully, leading to a better texture. While not strictly necessary, it truly improves your gluten free waffles
  6. Cook the Waffles: Pour about ½ to ¾ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron. Adjust the amount based on your iron's size. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's settings, usually for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and steam stops escaping
  7. Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the cooked waffle with a fork or tongs. Serve your delicious gluten free waffles hot with your favorite toppings
  8. Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter, greasing the iron between batches if necessary. Keep finished waffles warm on a baking rack in a low oven (around 200°F/90°C) while you cook the rest. Enjoy your homemade gluten free waffles!

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined for tender waffles.

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow the gluten-free flour to hydrate, resulting in a better, fluffier texture.

Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated and lightly greased before each waffle for a crispy exterior and easy release.

Leftover cooked waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat them in a toaster or oven for the best crispy results.
