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 measure-for-measure flour
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs separated
1 ¾ cups (420ml) whole milk
⅓ cup (80ml) neutral oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°F. Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and set aside.
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 oil. Mix well to combine.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just 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 the waffle iron is hot, lightly spray the inside with cooking spray, then scoop in the batter. Cook until golden brown, according to the waffle maker’s instructions.
Serve immediately or keep warm on the wire rack-lined baking sheet in the warm oven until ready to serve.

Notes

Gluten-Free: Use a high-quality gluten-free flour that contains xanthan gum. This one is my favorite for these waffles!

Dairy-Free: Use unsweetened dairy-free milk of choice. Keep in mind that it may impact the texture/color of the waffles.

To Make-Ahead: These waffles are best eaten same day, but if making for a crowd, you can place them on a wire rack-lined baking sheet in a 200°F oven to keep warm and crisp until serving (ideally serve within 1-2 hours). Don't stack the waffles until ready to eat or they'll lose their crispness!

To Store: Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

To Freeze: Leftovers can be cooled and frozen in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or toaster oven on the defrost setting.
