This is a quick and easy recipe for gluten free waffles, made from scratch, that get perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. There is a dairy-free option and these homemade GF waffles freeze well too so you can make a double batch and save some for later!
Preheat your waffle iron according to your waffle iron directions. (I usually set mine on a higher setting because I like my waffles super crispy).
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter (or oil), maple syrup, and vanilla until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined (no need to over mix, some small lumps are ok). Let batter sit 5 minutes.
Grease your waffle maker and cook your waffles according to your waffle iron directions. Serve immediately with maple syrup, and desired toppings. We like fresh fruit on ours!
Notes
* I use my Nightshade Free Gluten Free Flour Blend in this recipe. Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour can also be used, just omit the xanthan gum called for.These waffles freeze well. Cool completely before freezing on a sheet pan. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in the toaster oven or oven.I get about 10 square waffles (with about 1/4 batter per waffle) from this recipe. It will depend on the waffle iron you use and how much batter you use for each waffle.
