My family enjoys these Belgian waffles with a waffle bar where we’ll have several different toppings to choose from, like fruits, syrups, or glazes. And serve bacon, sausage, and hash browns for sides. It’s so fun, and everyone can make their waffles the way they want.

Ingredient notes

Gluten-Free Flour:My favorite gluten-free & dairy-free flour blends to use arePamela’s Gluten-Free 1:1 All-Purpose Flourand Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour. I’ve been using them both with great results.They are both a 1-1 substitute. If you use another gluten-free flour blend, be sure that it contains xanthan gum. If not, add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of flour.

Dairy-Free Butter:Suggested brands are Country Crock Plant Based with Avocado Oil, Smart Balance, or Earth Balance.

Instructions

Preheat your Belgian waffle maker and spray with non-stick spray if needed.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Add in milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir together until combined.

Measure out the amount needed for your waffle maker and pour this amount into the waffle maker.

Cook per your waffle maker’s directions.

Remove waffles after cooking to a wire rack. This will help the bottom side not to get soggy.

To keep waffles warm: If making several batches to be eaten right away, place the waffles on a wire rack in the oven set at a low setting, like 200° to keep warm until they are all ready.

You might like to make smaller waffles than what your waffle makes. Just add less batter to the center of the waffle maker to get smaller waffles. They’re just so cute.

Storage

Refrigerate leftover waffles for 3-4 days.

To freeze: After completely cooling, layer the waffles with parchment paper between each one and place them in a freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air from the bags as possible before completely sealing. Waffles can be frozen for up to 3 months.

To reheat:You can reheat directly from the freezer or place frozen waffles in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. Depending on the thickness, these can be heated in a toaster on low for a few settings to get them heated thoroughly without burning. Or reheat in an air fryer or oven.

    I tried about five different gluten and dairy free waffle recipes this weekend in search of a tasty, simple recipe. This one was the winner! It is easy, quick to make and delicious! I would like the waffles to be a little more crispy on the outside which is why I gave them four instead of five stars. That said, I would absolutely make them again and recommend them. Good flavor, fluffy and tender on the inside with a light crisp on the outside. Robin, this recipe achieves your mission statement to “give you easy, delicious, and reliable gluten-free and dairy-free recipes”. Thank you so much!

    This are SO good! Best waffles I’ve ever had!! I do have one question though. I’d like to make them for my nephew who has an egg allergy as well, what do you think that I could sub the eggs with to keep them so perfect??

    • MamaShire

      I haven’t made them without eggs but a good egg substitute is a “flax” egg. For each egg needed take one tablespoon ground flax meal and mix with 2.5 tablespoons water and let sit for 5 minutes. Mix in the recipe in place of an egg.

    Great recipe for GF and DF waffles! I changed the milk to Oat milk and at times toss in some blueberries. On a couple of occasions I used an egg replacement so my vegan friends are able to enjoy waffles as well! Great recipe and so easy to use.

    I used regular milk and it didn’t work so well. The batter was too runny. Maybe it would be different if I used a milk alternative.

    • MamaShire

      I haven’t used regular milk with this recipe so I’m not really sure what to tell you. If you want to use regular milk you may try using a smaller amount at first and then add small amounts if necessary to get to a good consistency.
