    Gluten Free Waffles with Almond Flour

    These Gluten Free Waffles are perfect for weekends or any day of the week. Simple to prepare and oh so satisfying with Bob's Red Mill and almond flour.  Make ahead and freeze for a week of healthy breakfasts on the go. {gluten free}

    Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour hasn't let me down yet.  It's a 1 to 1 easy replacement for most recipes calling for regular flour.  I'm in love. AND when you add some almond flour to the mix it takes it over the top.

    I have spent many mornings trying to make delicious Gluten Free Waffles.  I always have success with Pamela's Baking Mix but I wanted my homemade recipe.  This is it.

    AND I love using Bob's Red Mill flour in these Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pancakes too.

    I have a Belgian waffle maker which is why mine turned out with the deep holes in them.  A Belgian waffle maker creates a thin, crispy crust on the outside with a soft center.  It reminds me of crusty sourdough bread.  These waffles are way popular at my house.  

    The possibilities here are endless.  Add any toppings, sweet or savory, or use them as sandwich bread in your lunch. Mmmm, or how about a breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheese?

    Ingredients

    • Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour
    • almond flour
    • baking powder
    • sale
    • almond milk
    • apple cider vinegar
    • melted and cooled unsalted butter
    • eggs
    • optional flavorings: vanilla extract, sugar, maple syrup

    Instructions

    • Preheat waffle iron and spray well with cooking spray if necessary.  My waffle iron is non-stick.
    • Mix all wet ingredients with a whisk.
    • Mix all dry ingredients in another bowl then fold in wet ingredients until just mixed.
    • Pour into waffle iron and cook 5-10 minutes or until done depending on your waffle iron. I prefer to cook mine for a long time because I'm trying to get that brown crispy outside. This will depend on which brand and type of waffle iron you are using so cooking times will vary greatly.

    Health benefits of almond flour

    Almond flour is made from blanched almonds that have been ground into a fine meal.  Almond flour is lower in carbs and higher in fat than all-purpose flour.  It's better for your blood sugar because it doesn't cause a spike like white flour can.  Almond flour also contains micronutrients like Vitamin E, magnesium and calcium. A ¼  cup serving of oat flour contains 11 grams of fat, 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 1 gram of sugar.  (from USDA)

    Make a big batch on Sunday and put them in the freezer.  Breakfast for the week?  Check.

      Great recipe! My wife and I used to make our own flour and decided to try the Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1 but had trouble finding a waffle recipe that was not full of added sugar. Made is using coconut oil just to see if it would add flavor. It didnt which was fine. We added a little cinnamon amd vanila extract so itay of been hidden by that. Thanks so much for posting. This is now our goto base waffle batter.

        I'm so glad to hear it worked for your family. It is so nice to finally have an easy gluten free waffle recipe. I'll have to try it with coconut oil and vanilla. Thanks for letting me know.

      Just made them for breakfast, but substituted the eggs out for water, baking powder and more oil. Worked beautifully! Esially can be made vegan.

      Great texture and they taste good. I used the all-purpose GF mix from Bulk Barn that included xanthan gum, which I imagine would be like Bob's Red Mill's - and you can't really tell they're gluten-free. No sugar either, which is a bonus. A little bit eggy, but not too much; I imagine that many eggs are needed to help with the texture. Finally, they didn't stick to the iron and were easy to remove. I'll make this again, for sure. Thank you!

        Thanks so much for your review. Glad you liked them. Wish I had a Bulk Barn around here so I could try that flour!

      I used a Bob's Red Mill's All Purpose Flour waffle recipe for years, but it had a little bit of an after-taste. This recipe is SO much better! Thank you for sharing. P.S. I did end up using a little more milk, almost 1.5 cups, as the batter thickened over time.

      These were awesome! We used Bob’s Red Mill Palio baking flour, low-fat milk but kept the rest the same. Super good, light, fluffy, tasted better than “regular” waffles.
      Thank you!

      Is that 354 calories per waffle?

      With a fairly recent Celiac diagnosis (my daughter), I’m having to re-learn how to bake. Sometimes it isn’t just as simple as swapping out a 1-to-1 flour for all-purpose in a favorite recipe. My old recipe for waffles just didn’t cut it... they were limp and disappointing. Debated about adding some vanilla, but realized what I have on hand isn’t labeled so we didn’t want to risk it. I was worried they wouldn’t be flavorful, but I was definitely wrong! My daughter heartily gave it 2 thumbs up. Just printed it out to put in our GF “favorites” binder. Thanks so much!

      These waffles turned out great! I had to add some almond milk to thin it some then I used cinnamon and vanilla from the earlier suggestion. Thanks for the delicious recipe!

      I regret not seeing that people added vanilla to this recipe LOL. These were not good. They did not have any crave-able taste. Even after i added cinnamon. I had to add maple syrup for the first time since i was a child just to eat 2 of the 4 waffles i got out of this batch. Maybe it was because i subbed flax egg for the eggs, but i don't know. Or maybe it's cause I'm a pancake person. I am not giving up on this recipe though, because they came out beautiful! They didn't stick, and had great texture.

      Just wondering what happened to the other waffle recipe that was at this link. I have been using it for awhile and needed to print out another copy of recipe and it’s changed. Do you still have the other recipe somewhere on your site.
