My daughter is not a fan of frozen gluten free waffles, so she has done without until we could find a suitable alternative. Last week she tried Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Baking Flour in the following recipe.
She said that the waffles tasted great with butter and syrup, but we did find that they tasted better fresh than frozen.
A tasty gluten free recipe from ThePeacefulMom.com!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Flour (we used Bob's Red Mill)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup milk + 1/4 cup water
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients until well mixed (1st five ingredients).
- Whisk wet ingredients together.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk together until slightly lumpy.
- Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Pour batter into waffle iron and cook according to directions. (Our waffles took slightly longer to cook than normal batter.)

I love waffles! Those look really good, and easy. Love easy.
I know this is late in posting, not a very budget friendly product but they do put out occasional coupons but VAN’S makes a gluten free blueberry frozen waffle and we eat them with out syrup they are that good. I save these for emergencies when we are in a hurry.:)
Thanks Andrea. My daughter actually does not like that brand
, but I am glad that they work for you.
I actually dont care for Van’s Gluten Free Waffles either. I dont have a waffle iron so I was wondering if you think this recipe would work for Pancakes??
I haven’t tried it, but it probably would.
Hi, I wanted to chime in that Pamela’s makes an excellent mix for tasty pancakes and waffles, I am not sure on the price compare to Bob’s (we do not care for the taste of Bob’s GF flour mix) but think they are comparable. We cannot tell the difference between Pamela’s and regular flour baked goods and have successfully used it for ebelskivers as well.
Thanks Heather. I have seen the Pamela’s baking mix, but it seemed more expensive than the Bob’s Red Mill last time I checked. I’ll have to look at it again.
You need to check out http://betterbatter.org/! It is a wonderful, relatively inexpensive cup for cup GF flour alternative. We love it! We learned of it thru GlutenFreeOnAShoestring.com.
Thanks Bonny!
Do you think one could use the GF bisquik in this recipe?
I think so Shelly. My sister uses the GF Bisquik to make her pancakes so I think it would work.
These were so great! Simple and very tasty… Great recipe!
Thanks Sara–I’m glad you enjoyed them.
I’m very new to GF baking and am attempting to be dairy free as well. My 2 little girls were begging for waffles on this cold rainy morning in the Pacific NW and didn’t want the frozen kind. Since I’m DF as well I used coconut milk which so far seems to be very forgiving as a substitute. I just cooked my first waffle from your recipe and am thrilled! They are delicious! Crisp on the outside and slightly chewy but still fluffy on the inside. Thank you for this wonderful comfort food recipe. FYI when I made the batter I was a bit concerned because it seemed really thick so I added another 1/4c coconut milk and it cooked beautifully.
Woohoo! I’m so glad that you enjoyed them. Coconut milk is a brilliant substitute for milk. Thanks for letting me know it worked well.
What kind of waffle maker works well for GF waffles?
I haven’t tried any waffle makers other than the one we have which we purchased at a yard sale (I don’t even know the brand–sorry!). I think any of them should work fine, but you may have to adjust the cooking time based on how thick your batter is.
I have a son that is intolerant to gluten and dairy. He also loves waffles and pancakes. I have found that the best way to get waffles that don’t taste gluten free is to separate the eggs beat the egg whites and add them last to the mix it helps to make them extra fluffy and worth the extra effort.
Thanks for the idea Matt!
they were perfect!! thanks
Yay! So glad you liked them.
These waffles were way too dense. We usually just use the gluten free pancake and waffle mix by kinnikinick but we were out so i tried this. No success using both bobs red mill ap flour or other ap gf flour. Followed recipe exactly so not sure where I went wrong.
Yes, they are dense. If you like a lighter waffle you could probably use just the egg whites and whip them before adding them to the batter. We just don’t take the time to do that. I guess we aren’t very picky because we had not found a better gf waffle recipe and we love waffles.
Is this recipe to make just one waffle?
Hi Samantha! This recipe makes four waffles for our round waffle iron, so it would probably make about 3 for a larger waffle iron.
