Homemade Gluten-Free Waffles {Topped With An Egg}

by

Gluten Free Dairy Free Waffles Topped with Eggs

For years, I’ve used this pancake/waffle recipe.  It yields the fluffiest, most perfect pancakes or waffles you can imagine.  And it served as a my go-to base batter for several different flavored waffles.   There was never a need to modify, until I went gluten-free.

Homemade Waffles with Vinegar

For six months, I’d been dreading substituting gluten-free flour in this recipe.  I had a fear that they’d be flat and dense and that my biggest homemade breakfast go-to would be gone.  But after playing around with gluten-free flours, baking powder, and baking soda for the past few weeks, I was finally ready to give gluten-free waffles a shot.

And I’m so glad I did.  I also swapped out the dairy with coconut oil and coconut milk to make these waffles dairy-free in addition to gluten-free.  And I’m happy to report that these waffles are every bit as delicious as I remember!

When using gluten-free flours, be sure to check the label for other allergens, such as dairy {Cup for Cup contains milk powder}.  I used King Arthur gluten-free multi-purpose flour for this recipe.  And I am expecting a package full of Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flours in the mail to play around with as well.

Hummus Deviled Eggs

Hummus Deviled Eggs

After reading one of the many things you’re doing wrong lists out there, I had to try peeling boiled eggs the right way.  I started with Martha Stewart’s instructions on how to make perfect hard-boiled eggs. And then finished by placing the boiled eggs in a large bowl filled with ice water and one teaspoon of baking soda.

Baking Soda for Boiled Eggs

Let me just tell ya, this was the least stressful egg peeling that’s ever gone on in my kitchen.  From this point forward, I’m a baking soda believer.

And then I went on to experiment with the ever so classic deviled egg.  Truth be told, I had some 365 light mayo in my fridge that tasted like poison and I needed an alternative.  Hummus seemed like the logical route.  This recipe needs some tweaking, but I’ll give you the ingredients and measurement starting points to get going.
