Gluten Free Waffles

[Donna F]

Hello,

I used to love Lifestream brand Buckwheat waffles but I haven't eaten them in a long time. I was eating them for several months but saw a return in symptoms and suspected those may have had something to do with it. I think I remember reading here a while back that others had issues with them too.

Anyone know if they have fixed any possible contamination issues?

Or - does anyone know of any gluten free waffles other than Vans? (I don't like Vans)

Thanks~

Trader Joe's has gluten-free waffles and they are delicious. My kids love both the plain and the banana. Kinikinnick also sells waffles, but I haven't tried them. They get rave reviews from others, though.

Wow - the closest Trader Joe's is over an hour away from me! I'm sure Kinickinnick is great - I like many of their products - I just can't afford the shipping and no one sells the waffles here. Maybe I can talk one of our stores into carrying them.

Thanks

What about getting a waffle maker and making your own? Make extra and freeze them. Would be cheaper in the long run. I have only made pancakes so far and they are a lot better than frozen waffles at the grocery store. I want to make homemade waffles though.

I have seen a lot of recipies in my cookbooks for waffles but have been putting any extra time I have into trying to cook new gluten free meals.

Good Luck

We bought a new waffle iron at Walmart for 10 bucks. I make a batch and keep in the fridge for a couple of days or you can freeze them. Just pop them in the toaster. My daughter likes them with homemade apple pie filling on top. I use the recipe from Gluten Free Quick and Easy by Carol Fenster. Our health food store is about 120 miles round trip. That is inconvenient! Last time I was there, they were out but I wasn't going to buy them anyway.

Kinnickinick makes great frozen gluten free waffles. They come in regular flavor and cinnamon brown sugar.

Thanks for the ideas. I haven't found a pancake mix I like yet, but maybe I can mix up my own waffle mix and just do it myself. I'll check out some recipes.

Thanks!

Pamela's Ultimate Baking and Pancake Mix makes really good waffles - recipe on the package.

If you can get them, my absolute favorites are the lifestream buckwheat wildberry gluten-free waffles in the purple box. They are the best I have ever had and I feel bummed if I am out of them in the am.

You have to be careful because they make many similarly boxed items and some are not gluten-free.

Kinikinnick waffles are wonderful!!! they smell like cupcakes when they are cooking and the taste and texture is great!

Hmmm - haven't tried Pamela's for waffles. I didn't care for the pancakes much. Would the recipe be different for waffles I wonder?

Yes, I love Lifestream. I thought I was being careful to get gluten-free ones. I thought others had had cc issues with them and so when I started having trouble again I just attributed it to the waffles, but who knows.

I might just have to try those Kinickinnick ones if I can get my hands on them. I definately can't afford $10 shipping for a few waffles!

Thanks~
