Gluten-Free Belgian Waffles Recipe (Dairy-Free)

Waffles with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries.These homemade gluten-free Belgian waffles are easy to make and so good. Crispy on the outside and light on the inside. And they don’t take long to make so you can make them through the week or make ahead and reheat for extra quick and easy breakfasts.

My family enjoys these Belgian waffles with a waffle bar where we’ll have several different toppings to choose from like fruits, syrups, or glazes. And serve bacon, sausage, and hash browns for sides. It’s so fun and everyone can make their waffles the way they want.

A breakfast buffet with waffles, bacon, and fruit.How to Make Gluten-Free Belgian Waffles:

Preheat waffle maker and spray with non-stick spray if needed.

In a medium-size bowl whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Add in milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir together until combined.

Measure out the amount needed for your waffle maker and pour this amount into the waffle maker.

Cook per your waffle makers directions.

Remove waffles after cooking to a wire rack. Don’t stack on plates until ready to eat so they will stay crispy.

To keep waffles warm: If making several batches to be eaten right away place the waffles on a wire rack in the oven set at a low setting like 200° to keep warm until they are all ready. To keep them crispy do not stack the waffles.

Waffles made gluten-free and dairy-free and covered with fruits.

How To Freeze Waffles:

It’s best to cool waffles on a wire rack and not on a plate so the bottom doesn’t get soggy. After completely cooling layer waffles with parchment paper between each one and place in a freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air from the bags as possible before completely sealing. Waffles can be frozen for up to 3 months.

To reheat: Depending on the thickness these can be heated in a toaster on low for a few settings to get them heated thoroughly without burning. Or reheat in a toaster oven, air fryer (this is how I reheat mine), or oven.

To store in the refrigerator: Can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Special Ingredients and Substitutions:

The buttery spread that I use for this recipe is Smart Balance. Earth Balance could also be used. If you don’t need this recipe to be dairy-free you can use butter and then regular milk to replace the almond milk.

The all-purpose gluten-free flour mix that I use is Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour. It can be purchased on Amazon or on the Better Batter website. This is not a sponsored post, I just really like this flour blend. I’ve had consistently good results using it.

Other gluten-free flour blends that are popular are Pillsbury Gluten-Free Flour and King Arthur’s Gluten-Free Flour.

    I tried about five different gluten and dairy free waffle recipes this weekend in search of a tasty, simple recipe. This one was the winner! It is easy, quick to make and delicious! I would like the waffles to be a little more crispy on the outside which is why I gave them four instead of five stars. That said, I would absolutely make them again and recommend them. Good flavor, fluffy and tender on the inside with a light crisp on the outside. Robin, this recipe achieves your mission statement to “give you easy, delicious, and reliable gluten-free and dairy-free recipes”. Thank you so much!

    My 8 year old daughter made this recipe and we all loved it. We used almond flour, added lillies dark chocolate chips and replaced the sugar with Pyure sweetener.

    This are SO good! Best waffles I’ve ever had!! I do have one question though. I’d like to make them for my nephew who has an egg allergy as well, what do you think that I could sub the eggs with to keep them so perfect??

      I haven’t made them without eggs but a good egg substitute is a “flax” egg. For each egg needed take one tablespoon ground flax meal and mix with 2.5 tablespoons water and let sit for 5 minutes. Mix in the recipe in place of an egg.

    Great recipe for GF and DF waffles! I changed the milk to Oat milk and at times toss in some blueberries. On a couple of occasions I used an egg replacement so my vegan friends are able to enjoy waffles as well! Great recipe and so easy to use.

    I used regular milk and it didn’t work so well. The batter was too runny. Maybe it would be different if I used a milk alternative.

      I haven’t used regular milk with this recipe so I’m not really sure what to tell you. If you want to use regular milk you may try using a smaller amount at first and then add small amounts if necessary to get to a good consistency.
