Gluten free Belgian waffles are not only easy to make, but they are utterly delicious! Light and fluffy, just like they ought to be!
To help you enjoy this special breakfast treat again whenever the mood hits, I’m sharing my gluten free Belgian Waffle recipe using my award-winning gfJules™ Pancake and Waffle Mix! SO easy!
I’ve also provided you with directions on how to make these gluten free Belgian Waffles from scratch — also super easy, so don’t be deterred if you don’t have my pancake mix on hand yet.
As long as you have my gfJules™ Flour, you’ll be good to go. (All gluten free flour blends behave differently – to read more about substituting with gluten free flours, hop to my article on gluten free flours).
My award-winning gfJules Flour and my gfJules Pancake and Waffle Mix are both made from the highest quality gluten free flours that are light and clean – no grit from brown rice flour and no funny taste or smell from bean flours, so your pancakes won’t taste “gluten free” either.
Which means you may have to fight the non-gluten free family members for extra waffles, but that’s ok. It’s fun to share!
If you’re using my mix, you’ll only need half of the gfJules™ Pancake and Waffle Mix, so you’ll still have another breakfast at the ready to choose either gluten free Belgian waffles or pancakes!
Or just double the recipe and make the whole mix. Such tough choices!
I’ve made these dozens of times at my booth at gluten free expos (maybe you were there?) and they’re always a hit. I also make them vegan (egg-free and dairy-free) every time! Once folks taste how light these waffles are, they are in heaven. You never have to settle for dry, cardboard gluten free waffles again. I promise!
The best way to make them vegan is to use applesauce or pumpkin puree in place of the egg and use your favorite vegan milk/mylk OR protein powder or drink (I like OWYN* vegan protein).
I also use OWYN protein powder and drinks to add extra nutrition in recipes like homemade vegan yogurt, gluten free Overnight Oats Waffles, gluten free crepes, and even gluten free Black Bottom Cupcakes, and these waffles turned out just as delicious. But feel free to just use milk/mylk; these gluten free Belgian Waffles turn out great either way!
I really think I like making them this way even better! With the extra vanilla from the OWYN drink, I didn’t even need maple syrup.
Now that’s saying something!
Gluten Free Belgian Waffles Recipe
Gluten Free Belgian Waffles Recipe
Light and fluffy gluten free Belgian Waffles -- it doesn't get any better than this (aka worth getting out of bed for!).
Ingredients
- 1/2 mix gfJules™ Pancake and Waffle Mix
OR
- 1 1/2 cups (202 grams) gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. granulated cane sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
PLUS
- 2 eggs, separated or 1/2 cup applesauce (see my post for other vegan options)
- 3 Tbs. vegetable oil of choice
- 1 ¼ cups milk, dairy or non-dairy (soy, almond, coconut or dairy) or OWYN protein drink
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron to medium-high heat setting.
- If using eggs: In a small metal bowl, place the egg whites; place the yolks in a separate bowl. Whisk the egg whites until frothy (preferably using an electric mixer). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks OR applesauce and oil together (and vanilla extract if making from scratch).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients if making from scratch (OR 1/2 gfJules™ Pancake and Waffle Mix ). Add dry ingredients to the large bowl, followed by the milk or protein drink.
- Whisk together until only very small lumps remain in the batter, then fold in the egg whites gently, if using eggs.
- Scoop ½ – 2/3 cup of batter into preheated waffle iron. Spread with a silicone spatula to ensure the mixture is evenly distributed. Close the lid of the waffle iron and cook for 5 minutes or when your iron alerts you that the waffle is cooked.
- Once cooked, open waffle iron cover and loosen the waffle, if necessary, with a fork or silicone spatula. Remove to a plate to serve or cool while cooking remaining waffles. Serve with confectioner's sugar, syrup or warmed berries.

Do you have nutrition information available? Or even a calorie estimate for them made without substitutions? I’m a newly diagnosed celiac & am keeping a food journal with my Fitbit. BTW, my littles guys gave this “100 thumbs up” this morning & said they’re “better than gluten”!
I’m so glad to hear these gluten free waffles were a hit!! I’ve added the nutritional information, but as noted, it’s difficult to run the nutritionals on my recipes since I give so many different substitution options (take the calculations with a grain of salt!).

Love Belgian Waffles & this recipe made egg free, dairy free milk is still perfect Belgian Bliss! Thank you for both the ingredients recipe from scratch as well as having the blend in your shop. Sometimes, time is of the essence! But both are excellent & I appreciate the no egg, no dairy variations.
Aw, so glad it’s all helpful for you and that you loved this recipe so much, Eileen! Belgian Waffle Bliss is something no one should have to go without, even if they have to go without gluten, dairy and eggs!!!

I just made these this morning with your modified home made mix. My husband LOVES waffles but i won’t make them with gluten. This was our first time using your recipe and he is sold! He said he wouldn’t have known they were gluten-free! I loved that they were crispy! Years and years trying to find a great recipe and here it is! Thank you!
YAY! I’m so happy to hear this — for both of you!!! Break out the waffle iron! Gluten Free Belgian Waffles are HERE!!!!!!!
