How To Make Gluten Free Waffle Recipe
- First, preheat your waffle maker.
- Next, whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl, and then add the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, almond milk, and kosher salt. Mix until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
- Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, a little at a time. Mix and fold until a thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for ten minutes.
- Next, add the batter to the waffle maker and sprinkle coconut sugar and cinnamon on top of the batter before closing the lid.
- Finally, cook according to the waffle maker’s directions and repeat with the remaining batter before serving.
Tips for Making Healthy Gluten-free Waffles
Have your kitchen tools on deck. It’s helpful to have a whisk to help incorporate the wet ingredients. In addition, a measuring cup to ensure each waffle will yield the same size.
Separate the wet from the dry ingredients. Always start with two large bowls. Again, one for the wet ingredients and one for the dry ingredients. Always add the dry ingredients to the wet a little at a time, folding and mixing until finished.
Allow the batter to rest for at least 10 minutes. While the batter rests, the starch cells will start to absorb the liquid, thus creating a thicker consistency.
Storage Tips
Serve: Serve with dairy-free butter like coconut butter to keep these dairy-free and maple syrup. You can keep these out for about two hours before they need to be stored in the refrigerator.
Store: Place the waffles in a zipper-top bag and store them in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
How to Freeze:
You can freeze this Gluten Free Waffle Recipe, just follow the instructions below.
- While making waffles, avoid stacking them over each other. Instead, lay each one on a baking sheet. Allow cooling completely.
- When ready, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. This will ensure each waffle is frozen correctly before adding the waffles to the same bag.
- If you put the waffles directly into a bag and in the freezer without freezing them flat on a baking sheet, they will all stick together. Eventually, you will find yourself cutting them apart with a knife. Nobody has time for that!
Recipe FAQ’s
These Gluten-Free waffles are made with just a few ingredients. Those ingredients include eggs, coconut sugar, almond milk, salt, gluten-free flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
Pancakes and waffles are made using similar ingredients. However, the amounts are different so I would not recommend following this recipe if you are wanting to make pancakes.
A waffle iron is my preference for using when making waffles. Nothing else quite compares. However, you can use a waffle mold or a skillet to make your waffles if you do not have a waffle maker. They will not turn out as good as using a waffle iron but you can do it if needed.

I didn’t have coconut sugar so used a bit of regular sugar. For anyone that wants a great gluten-free waffle but doesn’t have coconut sugar, no worries – still make these. They are wonderful!
