Equipment

  • Waffle Maker
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Non-stick Spray

Ingredients

  • 312.5 grams Bob's Red Mill gluten free all-purpose flour about 2 ½ cups
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs lightly beaten
  • ½ stick butter unsalted and melted
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle maker, then generously spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, sugar and vanilla until incorporated.
  • Then add the dry ingredients in, and mix until just combined (note: the batter will look thick and slightly lumpy).
  • Pour about ¾ cup of batter into your prepared waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions (note: this is for a 7” waffle). Repeat until all the batter is complete, lightly spraying with more non-stick spray as needed.
  • Serve immediately and top with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit or a combination of all three.

Notes

  • Make them Fluffiest: Buttermilk is best for this recipe because it adds a delicious tangy flavor, while keeping the batter fluffier. This results in light and airy waffles.
  • Mix Gently: Gluten-free flour can toughen if overmixed, so stir just until the batter comes together. A few small lumps are totally fine.
  • Let the Batter Rest: A quick 5–10 minute rest helps the flour hydrate and gives you fluffier waffles with a better structure.
  • Preheat the Waffle Iron Fully: Gluten-free waffles brown a bit slower, so a well-heated iron helps create that crisp, golden exterior.
