Pro Tips

  • Eggs – We recommend adding in room temperature eggs for the perfect waffles.
  • Combining Ingredients – Gently combine the waffle mixture together but be careful to not overmix.
  • Prepare Waffle Maker – To ensure your waffles do not stick to the waffle maker, make sure to preheat it and spray with cooking spray.
  • Making Waffles – With my large family, I have to make a large batch so to keep them warm, I place the cooked waffles on a baking sheet with a wire rack and place in a preheated oven at 200 degrees until all the waffles are made.

Flavor Variations

  • Blueberries – Fold in ½ cup of fresh blueberries into the waffle batter.
  • Chocolate Chips – My kids love when add in ¼ cup of mini chocolate chips when making these waffles. We have even added in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for even more flavor.
  • Fall Treat – Substitute ½ cup of milk with pumpkin puree and add in 1 tsp of pumpkin spice.

Other toppings we recommend is chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, powdered sugar and we have even served with Easy Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Gluten Free Flour is Best for Waffles?

We like using the Bob Red Mill Gluten Free Flour. But you can use your favorite brand.

Can I Make Gluten-Free Waffles Dairy-Free?

Yes, just substitute any dairy-free milk. We like almond milk and my kids love when I use vanilla almond milk! Coconut milk, oat milk or soy milk is another good dairy free option.

How to Store Leftover Waffles

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. See Pancake and Waffle Mix on how to store dry mix.

Can I Freeze Leftover Waffles?

Yes, I like to double the recipe and stock my freezer. Store in a freezer bag with parchment paper in between the layers for easy storing. Store for up to 3 months.

How to Reheat Waffles

Reheat in the microwave. If you prefer a crispier waffle, you can use the oven or toaster oven.
