- 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.
Storage
Gluten-Free Waffles can be frozen and reheated. Store in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3-4 months. When ready to serve, let them thaw in the fridge and heat them in the oven on a baking sheet at 350°F (176°C) for 10 minutes or until warm throughout, microwave for one minute or use a toaster oven.

I make these waffles every time my kids have a sleepover for a special treat. They are the BEST waffles I’ve ever had! They are puffy, dense, with a crispy exterior. The flavor is perfect!

This is my standard waffle recipe. So easy and delicious. Love that I can just mix all the wet ingredients in my 2-cup measuring cup and then add to the dry ingredients. Wait 15 minutes while the waffle iron is heating and the batter is resting, and then we are good to go.
Erika Rosso says
This was great- I used oat milk instead of buttermilk-and only used 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour-melted butter instead of oil and half a grated apple too! Worked well even with all the substitutions!
Helen says
Batter seems ver runny. Is that normal?
Amy says
It shouldn't be too runny. Add a little flour at a time until you get the right conisistency.
Emily says
I just made these this morning using the bobs GF baking flour. Texture came out perfect and it makes quite a bit of mini waffles, enough to freeze some for our family of 2.
Barb says
New to gluten free. I notice some waffle recipes add baking powder only and some baking soda only, and none seem to add both. Can you explain why? I thought BPowder was a 'rising' factor and BSoda was a 'drying' factor??? Am a bit confused. Thanks 🙂
I am going to try this recipe soon.
