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.
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.
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.
You might like to make smaller waffles than what your waffle makes. Just add less batter to the center of the waffle maker to get smaller waffles. They’re just so cute.
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.
