Description
These easy gluten-free waffles are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, made with a simple homemade flour blend. Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch that everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups gum-free gluten free flour blend (185 g superfine white rice flour + 62 g potato starch + 33 g tapioca starch/flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 eggs (at room temperature, separated)
- 3 tablespoons virgin coconut oil (melted and cooled, or neutral oil)
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt (at room temperature)
- 3/4 cup milk (at room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour blend, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff (but not dry) peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the oil until creamy.
- Add the yogurt and milk to the yolk mixture and blend until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and thickly pourable.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until only a few streaks remain.
- Pour about 3/4 to 1 cup of batter into the waffle iron and spread evenly.
- Close the lid and cook until steam stops escaping, about 4–5 minutes.
- Remove and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining batter.
- If needed, reheat waffles in a 350°F oven for about 3 minutes.
- To store, cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze. Reheat before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut oil with vegetable or canola oil.
- Do not overmix when folding egg whites to maintain fluffiness.
- Serve with fresh fruit, syrup, or yogurt for added flavor.
- Waffles freeze well for quick future breakfasts.
