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.
