Do you have a type of gluten free flour that you would recommend?
We are gluten free/ dairy free (fun free) in this house so trying to find a recipe that works with a different kind of flour can be a challenge. I love LOVE waffles and haven’t made them in ages.
I know the gluten free life all too well! I was gluten free for over 10 years, have since been able to introduce wheat products as long as they are organic now. That being said – I would recommend Pamelas Products Pancake/Waffle Mix I used that a ton when I was gluten free. I’m not sure if you can get that in your local store so I linked it. Bobs Red Mill also has a good 1 to 1 ratio of flour that I used for so many different things.
Making this for the kids this weekend 🙂
They are going to love this with cinnamon and whipped cream.
I love that idea, sounds delicious! 😋
Wow! This seems so simple. Thanks!
We love mixes that use pantry staples like this! Such a great thing to have on hand for those weekend mornings when you’re really craving waffles.
They come in so handy!
