Why This Recipe Works

These waffles are light and fluffy thanks to the yeast, but made accessible for those avoiding gluten. Preparing the batter the night before saves time in the morning and enhances the flavor with a subtle tang. Enjoying a warm, homemade breakfast has never been easier or more delicious.

Cooking Techniques

- Use a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum for better texture.
- Let the batter rest overnight in the fridge covered tightly to develop flavor and rise properly.
- Preheat your waffle iron thoroughly to ensure crispy edges and even cooking.

Step 1

The night before you want to enjoy waffles, mix warm water, honey, and yeast in a small bowl. Give it a stir and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it gets bubbly. Next, in a large bowl, combine the milk and olive oil. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free flour, about a quarter cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. You want the batter to be thick but still pourable. If it feels too thin, sprinkle in a little more flour, a tablespoon or two at a time, until it’s just right.

Step 2

Once the yeast mixture is bubbly, stir it into the batter until everything is just combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and leave it on your counter overnight. The batter will puff up quite a bit, so make sure your bowl is big enough.

Step 3

When you’re ready to make waffles, whisk an egg with a pinch of salt and fold it into the batter. Heat up your waffle iron according to the instructions, then pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto it. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and the steam stops, usually around 5 minutes. Keep going until you’ve used all the batter, and enjoy!

Serving Options To Try

Top the waffles with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt for a balanced breakfast. For a savory twist, try adding avocado slices and a sprinkle of cheese. These waffles also pair well with nut butters or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Best Storage Tips

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To keep them crisp, reheat in a toaster or oven rather than a microwave. For longer storage, freeze the waffles individually and reheat directly from frozen when ready to eat.

The waffles had a nice yeast flavor but a bit chewier than I expected. Probably my first time overmixing. Still tasty!
