Gluten-Free Waffle Mix that is simple to make, a tried and true gluten-free waffle recipe, and can be made right away or stored for future use. These gluten-free waffles are perfect.

If you are more of a pancake person, check out my Gluten-Free Pancakes. I also have several recipes for Gluten-Free Donuts.

Gluten-Free Waffle Recipe

Everyone loves a good gluten-free waffle mix and I love a good gluten-free waffle recipe. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of mixes to purchase (one of my favorites is gfjules gluten free pancake & waffle mix) but depending on your household gluten-free waffle consumption the mixes can get expensive.

 

I have a gluten-free waffle recipe in my cookbook that I’ve been making for years. About a year ago I started making the dry portion in bulk and storing it in a glass container so that my sweet husband and girls could easily make gluten-free waffles when I was traveling.

I also have a gluten-free pancake mix recipe that they also make up whenever they are in the mood for gluten-free pancakes.

Gluten-Free Waffle Mix

Most gluten-free waffle mixes are simply the dry ingredients combined. You always have to add the wet ingredients like vanilla, milk, eggs, oil, etc. By making it yourself you can keep as much or as little as you want on hand.

Also, it’s saves quite a bit of money if you are making gluten-free waffles every week. We like to make up a couple batches of gluten-free waffles and keep them in the freezer for busy mornings. My girls pull them out and re-heat them in the toaster for a delicious homemade breakfast.

Can I make gluten-free waffles dairy-free?

Yes. This gluten-free waffle mix recipe works with milk or dairy-free milk. We like to use vanilla almond milk when we make gluten-free waffles. It gives it an extra touch of sweetness and vanilla.

How long can I store gluten-free waffle mix?

This gluten-free waffle mix can be stored in an airtight container (or glass container) for up to three months at room temperature. It may stay fresh longer, but I wouldn’t know because we use it up pretty quickly. For store bought gluten-free waffle mixes, always check the expiration date printed on the box.

Can I use an egg substitute?

I haven’t personally tried an egg substitute in this recipe. This gluten-free waffle recipe calls for 2 eggs and the eggs are an important part of the recipe. Sorry!

Why are my gluten-free waffles sticking?

If your gluten-free waffles are sticking, this could be one of three things. First, if your waffle iron is non-stick, you should NOT spray it with cooking spray. Spraying it could result in sticking.

Second, if your waffle iron is NON non-stick, you WILL need to spray it. Last, if you don’t let the waffles cook until they’re done, they might come apart when you try to lift them out. That’s because the center isn’t finished cooking. Hope that helps.

Can I make gluten-free waffles sugar-free?

Yes, you can make gluten-free waffles sugar-free. Simply use honey or coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar.

I make my own mixes and my own flour blends. When I do, I personally like to store them in glass jars or containers. I feel that they stay fresh longer, and they are a good storage option. When I use ball pint mason jars (affiliate link) I purchase the lids that have spots for the date on the lid. I write down when I made the mix or flour blend so I can keep track of how old it is.

You can store this mix in a glass jar, container, or a zip lock bag. Just note that items stored in zip lock bags don’t last as long. Most mixes like this gluten-free waffle mix store really well in all of the above.

Easy Gluten-Free Waffles

After I posted my gluten-free pancake mix recipe people started emailing me asking for a waffle mix recipe that they can mix up and store. I am super excited to finally get this post up for you, so that you can start whisking up your own gluten-free waffles.

With more and more people looking to save money on gluten-free mixes, I think this gluten-free waffle recipe is a great option for mixing up yourself.

What kind of a waffle iron should I use?

Honestly, it’s up to you. I used a small, two-waffle waffle iron for almond 2o years. It was one of those $10 ones you get at Walmart. Just this last year a friend of mine gave me a round waffle iron. I love it just as much. If you have a waffle iron, just use that one.

    • Hi Sabrina,
      You can use a flaxegg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water, let it sit for 10-15 minutes), or a chia seed egg. Some people have tried this recipe with the Bob’s egg replacer and had success, I haven’t tried it yet.

  3. I make these for family and company all the time. We all agree that they are easily the best waffles we have ever eaten (gf or not!)! I usually make a double making so that I can have leftovers for breakfast and snack. I also add a big dash of cinnamon to the dry mix and a teaspoon of almond and vanilla extracts to the total mixture before I put them in the waffle iron. Thanks for the fabulous recipe!!!

  4. We have tried many many gluten free and dairy free waffles/ waffle recipes and this is the BEST! They are so good. We add some cinnamon as well. Even my super picky kid loves them and said they are her favorite. WE make a huge batch and stick them in the freezer for the whole week.

    • Hi Gemma,
      Yes! We often make extras and freeze them. We put them in a zip lock bag or a airtight container. Simple reheat them in a toaster or microwave before eating.

  6. We have waffle Saturday and I recently discovered I have gluten sensitivity and give kids also. I’ve gradually incorporated gluten free recipes and I’ve tried many waffle recipes but this is THE BEST. I’m fixing extra for my son for lunch. Thanks so much!!!!

  7. What is your gluten free all purpose flour blend? I really don’t want to use all those “flour” starches. Thank you.

    Reply

    • Hi Kim,
      My blend is a combo of rice, potato, and tapioca. I’ve tried this recipe with my blend and bob’s read mill 1-to-1. I haven’t tried it with other flour blends.

      Hope that helps!

  8. Do you really only use 2T of mix for all of those wet ingredients? I did that and my batter is REALLY runny.

    Reply

    • Hi Emily,
      The directions in the post and the recipe card say, “One batch equals approximately 2 cups + 2 tablespoons of dry waffle mix.”

      Hope that helps,

    • Hi Jim,
      I haven’t personally made the batter before but I imagine it would work. If you give it a go, please stop by and let me know how they turned out.

  12. I seldom comment on sites, but wow! These waffles were sooooooo amazingly good. I used coconut oil and was really pleased with the results. Even my toddler said she loved them! Can’t wait to make them again. This is a keeper for sure. Thank you!

  14. Dear Crystal,
    I tried this recipe for the first time this morning and it worked wonderfully! We’ve been cooking dairy- and gluten-free for nearly 2 years now and this is one of the best recipes I’ve seen. I will definitely try your pancake recipe too.

  15. Hi Chrystal,
    Thank you for the awesome recipe. I have 3 in my family who are gluten intolerant and it’s nice to have a delicious recipe so that they can have waffles with the rest of us. I made them yesterday and let the batter rest, just like I do with my Belgian waffle recipe and they were light and airy. Delicious, will definitely make them again!!!

    Regards,
    Paulina

  16. Thanks for this recipe – we had our first attempt today and I’m looking forward to getting the results everyone else described! As it stands, I actually ended up with a super thick batter. Like drop cookie consistency. It might be my flour blend (Namaste), though it is supposed to be 1-to-1. Can you recommend how to thin it a little? Maybe I should just use a little less flour? Thanks!

  17. Thank you for a great recipe. This was our first time making gluten-free waffles. We made them with coconut oil, honey and soya milk. They were lovely. My son started to experiment with the flavours. He made cheese and wholegrain mustard ones, a tomato puree and mixed herb pizza one, a sweet chilli one and a cinnamon one. All good in their own ways!

  18. Like many others, I don’t ever comment on blogs and I haven’t found a good Gf DF waffle recipe. But the search has come to an end! We made these this morning and it was delicious!!! We used coconut oil, cashew milk, and Namaste GF blend. Thanks so much!!

  21. My two boys gobbled these up! They turned out nice and crispy. I cut the recipe in half and it was plenty for them, plus they get to have leftover waffles tomorrow.

    Thanks,

  22. I made these for my wife who has gluten sensitivities and she loved them! I have made batches using both King Arthur GF All-purpose Flour and Great Value GF All-purpose Flour. I used a quality EV olive oil and whole milk. They came out absolutely perfect! For us, a batch yields 4 thick waffles on my 8″ rotating Belgian waffle maker.

  23. AMAZING and DELICIOUS. I actually use half the amount of oil you called for and they are still great!

    Reply

  24. This was our first attempt at a GF waffle recipe and it was delicious! I did have a bit of a problem with the first batch sticking on my non-stick waffle maker so I lightly rubbed a paper towel coated with olive oil over the top and bottom for the next two batches and they were much easier to remove. My Cuisinart instruction booklet did say that you could lightly oil before each use.

    • Hi Kathy,
      I’m so glad you liked them. Every waffle maker is different. I’m glad you were able to keep them from sticking 🙂 Thank you for sharing!

  25. Made these today for Father’s day as my husband wanted chicken and waffles. I used bacon grease for in place of the oil. They were great!! Thank you for sharing.
