Ingredients
- Gluten Free Flour: Try our our gluten-free flour mix that's easy to make and you can store for future recipes.

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, Pamela's Products Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend, Pillsbury BEST Multi-Purpose Gluten Free Flour Blend. (affiliate links)
- Buttermilk: Regular milk can be substituted for buttermilk.
- Oil: We used vegetable oil in the past but have switched to avocado oil. Butter or melted coconut oil can be substituted for vegetable oil as well.
- Vanilla Extract: Use store bought vanilla or make your own homemade vanilla extract.
- Other: eggs, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon
Instructions
- Whisk the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat waffle iron and coat with cooking spray.
- Pour about ¾ to 1 cup of the batter into the plate of the waffle maker and close it. Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until steam no longer escapes. Most waffle makers come with a light that lets you know when they are done. Waffle makers come in different shapes and sizes so the amount of batter will vary.
- Remove the waffle using a fork or tongs.
These waffles are good enough to eat plain, but are especially delicious topped with extras like berries, homemade whipped cream, powdered sugar, strawberry jam, maple syrup or chocolate. the possibilities are endless!

Top Tip
For a crispier crust, allow them to cook on the waffle iron a minute or two longer before removing them.

Yummy pancakes. Thank you so much. Can this batter be refrigerated to use the next day? We made too much batter.

Monica Farrell says
Hi Amy! I have made this recipe many times and LOVE it- but now that I'm back on the site, I don't see eggs listed in the ingredients, and I"m sure I have used eggs in the past. Is it possible they've been forgotten?
Thanks, Monica
Amy says
Hi Monica! I am so happy you love this recipe! Thank you so much for noticing this error. There are eggs in this recipe, and it will be fixed momentarily.
H F says
Your ingredient list did not list eggs but you mention eggs in other ingredients. I made it without eggs. Not good. Then added one egg. Better. How many eggs do you use?
Amy says
Hello Holly! Thank you for catching this mistake. The recipe will be corrected momentarily!
