Gluten free, egg free, dairy free waffle recipe

This recipe is:
  • Gluten free
  • Dairy free
  • Egg free
  • Yeast free
I know the waffle is part of the American psyche, but here in the UK I reckon the pancake is the lead sweet breakfast player. And in our gluten free household, waffles hadn't graced the table in decades.

Until my birthday that is. When Gluten Free Wifie presented me with a gorgeous wee waffle iron that makes heart-shaped waffles. Cute :)

So I've been messing around with gluten free (and egg free and dairy free) waffle recipes. Those I've found on the web have been pretty complicated so this morning, I tried simplifying. Here's how...

Gluten free waffle recipe

1 cup Doves Plain Gluten Free Flour
Large 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
3 tbsp agave syrup (maple syrup will do)
Large 1/2 tsp sodium bicarb (baking soda)
3 tbsp walnut oil (use whatever oil you like)
1 tbsp Orgran egg replacer
1/2 tsp salt
Rice milk or water

Add enough liquid to the dry mix to make the waffle batter thick enough to just heap up a bit as you spoon it onto the waffle iron.

Now trying a new gluten free waffle recipe first thing in the morning is a risky strategy. If it goes wrong, you've got a 15 minute turnaround to get the next batch ready, and that makes for grumpy, waffle-demanding ankle-biters.

Happily, this recipe turned out perfectly. Next on the development list is a healthier, lower-GL gluten free waffle. Time for the nuts!

  • We have a great waffle recipe that is 2 cups of oatmeal, 2 cups rice/soy milk or water, 1/2 banana, 2 tb olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp b. powder (optional)
    blend all let stand for 5 minutes. Add more "milk" if too thick. Enjoy! www.phase4life.blogspot.com

  • Thanks, but many coeliacs, myself included can't take oatmeal, even if certified 'gluten free' (which most aren't).

    Late newsflash: since we've had to take corn out of the wee-est one's diet now, this waffle recipe has turned out well:

  • I get my son's results back this week to see if he has coeliac. The bummer is he is highly allergic to rice too! So he can't even use GF flour mixes bc they mainly use rice flour. Many sites I've researched say that oatmeal is still considered safe, but is currnently being researched. Thanks for the new recipe I can easily substitute the rice for other types of GF/rice free milks.
