It’s a delicious and undetectable alternative to the traditional version we grew up with. Whether you’re celiac, gluten-sensitive, or simply exploring gluten-free- these waffles are simple, sure-fire, and delicious every time.
Ingredients:
-
1 + 3/4 cup GF flour mix (Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 for best results)
-
2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons of sweetener (coconut nectar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, or honey)
-
A dash of cinnamon (optional)
-
1 + 1/2 cups of milk (any kind works—dairy or plant-based)
-
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
-
1/4 cup of coconut oil or melted butter
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (for that classic, comforting flavor)
-
Optional add-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, etc
-
Toppings of your choice (fruit, syrup, nuts, etc)
Directions:
-
Prep: Get your waffle maker hot and ready. A light brush of coconut oil or butter ensures no sticking.
-
Mix: In a bowl, whisk together all your ingredients until just combined. No overmixing—lumps are perfectly okay. (Gently stir in any add-ins)
-
Wait: Let the batter sit for 15 minutes. This little break lets the flour absorb the liquid, resulting in fluffier waffles.
-
Cook: Ladle the batter into your waffle maker. Close the lid and the waffle maker indicate when it’s ready (usually a light goes off, or steam stops escaping for awhile)
-
Serve: Carefully lift out your golden, crispy waffles. Now’s the fun part—top them with whatever your heart desires.
-
Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days or freeze and grab whenever you want.
I like to make extra and eat them on the go or toast the leftovers and add fruit as a pre-workout snack.
