Ingredients
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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the cooked waffle with a fork or tongs. Serve your delicious gluten free waffles hot with your favorite toppings
- 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.
