Do You Make Homemade Waffles?

I was wondering if others had some tried and true gluten free waffle recipes that you wanted to share. Or anything that isn't a typical waffle that can be made in a waffle iron. New ideas are always good!

We're a big waffle eating family and I have a heavy duty Belgian Waring Pro waffle iron that makes two at a time. I make other stuff in it too, like omelettes, falafel, hash browns, etc.

Pancakes > Waffles

 

But my husband disagrees with that.  You know, I don't own a waffle iron.  Have thought about getting one.  Maybe next Christmas I will drop a hint.  That KAF recipe works fabulously with pancakes, and I like to add mashed banana and some cinnamon to it for banana pancakes.  (You can do that with any pancake recipe really, just may need to adjust milk for batter thickness)  They have a recipe on the box of their gluten-free all purpose baking mix as well.

 

I think in general, waffles sometimes work better when you add more fat to the batter.  But overall most pancake and waffle recipes can be interchanged.

One reason why I tend to prefer waffles over pancakes is because I find them to be less work and less time consuming. With waffles I can just slam the iron shut and forget about it until it beeps. My waffle iron is lightning fast (about twice the speed of the cheap ones plus I can do two at a time). I can also sit down at the table and eat while more waffles are cooking, because the waffle iron will tell me when they're done.

 

If I make pancakes I have to babysit them constantly to keep them from burning and it takes a long time to get breakfast totally ready.

That is a good argument for waffles.  Now I really want to get a waffle iron!  I will burn the pancakes while tending to the eggs, etc all the time.

The key is to get a good waffle iron if you want to make waffles on a regular basis. The cheap ones require more babysitting and take twice as long to make the waffles. I absolutely love my Waring Pro waffle iron. It cost $100 and was worth every penny.

Ruth, this is the waffle recipe I use.

 

Gluten Free Belgian waffle recipe:

1 1/3 cups of Bisquick gluten-free pancake & baking mix
1 1/4 cups of milk
3 Tblsp. of canola oil (or oil of your choice)
2 eggs, seperated (sub chia seed for egg yolk if needed)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tblsp. sugar

Put the Bisquick pancake mix in 1 bowl. In a second bowl use a wooden spoon to beat together the egg yolks & sugar until sugar is completely dissolved & eggs have turned a pale yellow. Add the vanilla extract, milk & oil to the egg yolk mixture & whisk or mix well. Combine the egg-milk mixture with the Bisquick & whisk until blended. In a third bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Do not over mix! Pour the batter into prepared waffle maker.
You can also mash a ripe banana & add it to the mixture before folding in the egg whites. It will make the waffles a little heavier & you will need to cook them slightly longer but they are delicious!

I came up with this recipe by combing the regular waffle recipe on the Bisquick box with a Classic Belgian Waffle recipe by Emeril Lagasse.

Speaking of waffles, all I can find now are the Belgian waffle irons. I like the waffles with the smaller holes better. No, I haven't looked online yet, but it makes me feel old. It seems that all of my favorite things are being replaced with stuff OTHER people like better. (grump, grump, grump.)

{{{{{{ Barty }}}}}}} And when I got my Belgian waffler I had a hard time finding one. Now they're all the rag. The pendulum swings Barty -- always. The question is, will we be around to see it swing back? :D

I agree that waffles with small holes are superior.  No pooling of toppings, everything uniform.  LOL

Yes, I WILL be around when that pendulum swings back. But I'll be standing in the wrong place and it'll knock me in the head. :lol:

The recipe totally doesn't look like it should work, but it does! The batter is so thin. I had to resist the temptation to thicken the batter. LOL!

 

My kiddos devoured them really quickly. They taste very good and do not have a beany flavor. I often make whole grain waffles with gluten-free oats, but it's nice to have a recipe that doesn't rely on oats.

I make waffles wit all sorts of flours from scratch - teff, amaranth, coconut, almond and I mix them with ordinary self-raising flour in order to change the texture and tastes- 3 eggs, a good dollop of lactose free or soya yoghourt ( I am lactose intolerant)), lactose free butter ... And off we go onto the waffle iron!! Since becoming gluten free I normally don't eat bread anymore -as I cannot get used to the texture and the taste- And I make waffles with gluten free oat bran and use them as a substitute. I make up a few and freeze them to use as I need them.

This is my time to shine!   haha, it's a little late, but hopefully still helpful.

 

My family has the same exact waffle maker - isn't it awesome!?

I have a fool-proff DELICIOUS waffle recipe/method that makes the best waffles ever.  (non gluten-free people have said they are really good and can't tell the difference)

Use the Betty Crocker Cookbook recipe for waffles (if you don't have it or can't find it, let me know, and I'll write it as a comment).  Use 1.5 times the listed amount for baking powder, though.

 

The flour I use is called "Namaste", and it has the perfect balance of flours and xanthan gum for the waffles.  You can find it at Costco for a decent price.

If you are dairy free, it also works really well with almond milk (these don't "rise" as much as the ones with regular milk, but they still taste really good, and are still fluffy).

 

One day, we added blueberries to the mix, and it was wonderful :)

 

At my house, we make HUGE batches of waffles (think 50+ waffles), then put them in large ziploc bags with parchment paper between them (to prevent them from sticking together), freeze them, then pop them in the toaster in the mornings, and they stay soft in the middle! 

 

MMMMMMM!

Great idea to make them in batches and freeze

I do that to a lesser degree too.  My kids eat waffles most days, but I only make them once or twice per week.

 

Mine are coconut flour and flax meal based. They got the kids' satmp of approval though.  ;)

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
