The Best Gluten-free Waffles

This delicious recipe for gluten-free waffles is easy to make and the whole family will love it!

My youngest daughter is gluten-free due to Celiac disease. After her diagnosis we spent a lot of time finding recipes for her favorite foods—like waffles.

This kid loves waffles. We tried a whole bunch of different gluten-free versions from store bought to homemade, and they were never quite right. My husband finally played around with a few different recipes making some of his own alterations and he finally succeeded!

We finally found the best gluten-free waffles! They are so good, that whenever we serve them to people who visit us they always ask for the recipe.

During the school year, we make up a big batch of batter and keep it in a Tupperware container in the fridge. This way, my daughters (because they all love them, even though they aren’t all gluten-free) can easily make up a waffle for breakfast before school.

And, if we’re being honest, they often make them after school, too. That’s how good they are!

This recipe makes about 12-14 waffles, which is usually plenty to last the school week in our house.

Best Gluten-free Waffles

Ingredients:

(affiliate links)

• 2 Cups white rice flour
• 1 Cup potato starch (we use Bob’s Red Mill)
• 1/2 Cup tapioca flour (we use Bob’s Red Mill)
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 Cup + 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 eggs (room temperature)
• 3 Cups buttermilk

Directions:

1. Using a whisk, mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Batter should look creamy without any lumps.
2. Add batter to pre-heated and greased waffle iron. (We use the Cuisinart nonstick round classic waffle iron)

Note: Each waffle iron is slightly different—we use about 3/4 cup of batter per waffle, but you’ll have to experiment with yours.

3. Cook until crispy and golden brown (your individual waffle taste may prefer more or less browned).
4. Carefully remove waffle with fork.
5. Serve with your favorite waffle toppings.
6. Enjoy!

Waffle toppings

• Nutella (our personal favorite!)
• Blueberries
• Strawberries and whipped cream
