Every time I make a new recipe, I have my family rate the recipe out of 10. By the time, these recipes make the blog, they’ve been tried and tested by some of my hardest tiny critics!

What Ingredients Are in Gluten Free Homemade Waffles?

• Whole Milk – I prefer to use whole milk in most of my recipes because of the higher fat content in the whole milk. Fat is flavor, so it makes the waffles more moist and flavorful.
• Oil – I always use canola or olive oil in my recipes. For this recipe, I used canola oil.
• Eggs
• Vanilla – I wanted these waffles to have a sweet and buttery taste, so I added in vanilla.
• Gluten Free Flour – My favorite gluten free flour is Cup4Cup Gluten Free Flour or Bob’s Redmill Gluten Free flour.
• Baking Powder – Baking powder is a leavening agent that is going to make the waffles rise and be fluffy. This is important to get the texture that you want a waffle to have.
• Sugar – I love a little sweetness to my waffles, so I added in some sugar that pairs well with the vanilla.
• Salt -Salt is important in this recipe because not only does in enhance the flavor, but it also affects the texture of the waffles.
• Toppings – fruit, homemade raspberry jam (you can find my recipe here), homemade whipped cream (recipe here), syrup, peanut butter, etc… The possibilities are endless!

Tools You’ll Need

How to Make Gluten Free Waffles

1. In a mixing bowl, combine GF flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Mix until just combined.
2. Add in milk, oil, eggs and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
3. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes while the waffle iron heats.
4. Lightly spray the waffle iron with cooking spray, then pour 1/2 – 3/4 cup batter onto the bottom of the waffle iron. Close the lid and let cook for 2-3 minutes or until the waffles are brown and crispy.
5. Remove from heat and set aside.
6. Repeat this process until the batter is gone and all waffles have been made.
7. Top with favorite toppings and enjoy!

Storage and Freezing

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-7 days. These gluten free waffles are a family favorite, so they go fast at our house. I usually make waffles in bulk so that we have some easy and quick breakfast options throughout the week.

These gluten free waffles are also freezable! Place the waffles in a freezer Ziploc bag and place them in the freezer. To reheat, we just take out the desired amount of waffles and pop them in the toaster on defrost. It is so yummy!
