3 Tasty and Fluffy Gluten Free Waffles You Need To Devour

By Charm Narong, June 18, 2015

We were inspired by Will It Waffle’s Daniel Shumski and his waffle creations to get our own waffle maker just so we can make these savory and sweet waffles. But first, you need to make a great waffle batter as your base. Making these fluffy gluten free waffles requires an extra step but the results will be worthwhile.

Fluffy Gluten Free Waffles (Makes 8)

• 1-1/2 cups Gluten Free All-Purpose Baking Flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
• 2 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1 Tbsp. Sugar
• 1 Tbsp. Oil
• 2-3 Tbsp. Coconut Oil or a high smoke point oil
• 3/4 cup Milk
• 4 Eggs, separated
• 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

While you’re pre-heating the waffle iron, mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites and vanilla until it forms stiff peaks or resembles whipping cream. Need more muscle? You may want to use your KitchenAid Mixer to get those stiff peaks quickly!

In the measuring cup, whisk milk, yolks and oil. Add this milk mixture to the dry ingredients and blend together. With a rubber spatula, slowly fold in egg whites with the rest of the ingredients. The entire mix should be light and fluffy.

Grease the waffle iron with the coconut oil and begin making waffles according to the manufacturers instructions. Need some inspiration? Add a few more ingredients to the batter to make pizza, s’mores and crab cake waffles!

Pepperoni Pizza Waffle (Makes 8)

• 2 cups Pepperoni, chopped
• Fresh Basil
• 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes, sliced
• 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• Dipin Roasted Pepper and Artichoke Bruschetta

Make the Fluffy Gluten Free Waffle Batter above and chop up the ingredients before folding it into the batter. Grease the pre-heated waffle maker and pour 3/4 cup of the batter into the waffle maker. When the waffle is done, garnish with more fresh basil. You can either spread or dunk your waffle into the Dipin Roasted Pepper and Artichoke Bruschetta. We recommend you dunk it!

Crab ‘N Chips Waffle (Makes 8)

• 2 cups Real crab meat
• 2 cups Original Shoestring Potatoes by Pik-Nik
• 1/2 cup Green Onions
• A squeeze or two of lemon
• Tartar Sauce or Garlic Aioli (optional)
• Hot Sauce (optional)

Make the Fluffy Gluten Free Waffle Batter above and folding in the first four ingredients into the batter. Grease the pre-heated waffle maker and pour 3/4 cup of the batter into the waffle maker. When the waffle is done, garnish with your favorite hot sauce, tartar sauce or garlic aioli.

S’mores Waffle (Makes 8)

• 2 cups Honeygrams by Schar
• 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
• 2 cups Mini Chocolate Chips
• Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa & Milk
• Powdered Sugar

Make the Fluffy Gluten Free Waffle Batter above and folding in the first three ingredients into the batter. Grease the pre-heated waffle maker and pour 3/4 cup of the batter into the waffle maker. When the waffle is done, dust with powdered sugar and Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa & Milk. OMG!
