Gluten-Free Waffles (1:1 Baking Flour!)
8 waffles (depending on size of waffle iron)
This is my go-to gluten-free waffle recipe when I need an EASY recipe made with gluten-free 1:1 baking flour. Whipped egg whites make the waffles extra light and crisp! I like to use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour but any high-quality gluten-free flour blend will work.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300g) gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs separated
- 1 ¾ cups (240ml) whole milk, or milk of choice
- ⅓ cup neutral oil I use grapeseed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks, then add the milk and melted butter. Mix well to combine.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until fluffy and stiff peaks begin to form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula.
- Preheat the waffle iron. When warm, lightly spray the inside of the waffle iron with cooking spray, then scoop in the batter. Cook until golden brown, according to the manufacturer instructions.
- Transfer finished waffles to plates to eat immediately, or place on a wire rack while cooking the rest of the batch so they don't steam on the bottom and lose their crispness. You can also place the wire rack on a baking sheet in a 200F oven to keep them warm/crisp even longer.
- Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- I recommend Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 Baking Flour for this recipe. King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure-for-Measure Flour will also work.
- I find using a liquid fat like oil helps waffles to turn out nice and crisp. I like to use grapeseed oil but any neutral oil like avocado or vegetable oil will work.
- I recommend using whole milk for these waffles! It lends a nice richness and helps with browning.
- For dairy-free waffles, use any milk you like, but keep in mind it may change the texture/browning of the waffles.
