Not Awful Gluten-Free Waffles

Gluten-free baking can be tricky and frustrating. Take strange and expensive ingredients, and add the adjustment of measurements and equivalents.. If I make a bad recipe I have to hold back tears as I scrape it into the garbage.

 

Ok. that was dramatic.

 

But seriously. It is so disheartening when you dirty up the kitchen and half of your dishes just to make an inedible product.

 

We have been gluten-free and dairy-free for over 2 years now and I can safely say I have developed a waffle recipe that the whole family likes, AND I can double or triple the batch to make enough for freezing to toast later. (for the win!)  Now if I could only say the same for pancakes..  I digress.

 

Here it is. Welcome to gluten-free breakfast bliss.

 

Gluten (and Dairy)  Free Waffles

 

1 and 1/4 cups gluten free flour blend ( I used 1 cup of my all-purpose blend and 1/2 cup almond meal)

1/2 tsp xantham gum. (omit if your flout already includes it)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

 

Blend all of the dry ingredients in one bowl and set aside.

 

 

3 TBS melted margarine or butter

2 large eggs (ROOM TEMP)

1 Tbs Sugar or 9 drops stevia extract

1 cup milk (I ALWAYS use almond) but you can use cow or soy

1 tsp vanilla

 

beat the eggs in a large bowl then add the remaining wet ingredients.

BEAT UM!

 

Then add the bowl of dry ingredients and beat with a whisk (by hand) really quickly until all ingredients are blended then

 

STOP. walk away. no. more. mixing.

The batter is going to thicken into the perfect waffle-y batter we all know and love. Let it it do its thing while your waffle iron is heating.

cook and enjoy. :D

{Don't forget to double or triple the batch if you want to save yourself some time.}
