2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend Shop
2 tsp gluten-free baking powder Shop
1 tbsp granulated sugar Shop
0.5 tsp salt
1.75 cups milk, or oat milk Shop
2 large eggs, separated
0.33 cup melted unsalted butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop

Instructions

1 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, gluten-free baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain. This dry mixture forms the base of your waffles.
2 In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, melted unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; a few small lumps are acceptable. Be careful not to overmix the batter at this stage.
3 In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, meaning the peaks hold their shape but curl over slightly at the tip. Gently fold these whipped egg whites into the batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate them, which will create a lighter and fluffier waffle texture.
4 Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease the plates. Once hot, ladle the batter into the center of the waffle iron, filling it about two-thirds full, and close the lid. Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, releasing steam.
5 Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and serve immediately. They are best enjoyed warm, topped with your favorite accompaniments such as pure maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
