Step 1

The night before you want waffles, mix the warm water, honey, and yeast in a small bowl. Give it a quick stir and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it gets bubbly. 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. The batter should be thick but still pourable—if it feels too thin, add a little more flour in small increments until it’s just right. Once the flour is mixed in, stir in the bubbly yeast mixture until everything is combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and leave it on the counter overnight. The batter will rise quite a bit, so make sure you’re using a big enough bowl. When you’re ready to cook, stir in the beaten egg and salt. Heat your waffle iron according to the instructions, then cook about 1/4 cup of batter at a time until the waffles turn golden brown and the steam slows down, usually around 5 minutes. Keep going until all the batter is used up and enjoy!

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Make sure your yeast is fresh and active for the best rise.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to develop flavor and texture.
- Preheat your waffle iron thoroughly to get crispy edges and even cooking.

Why you’ll love it

These waffles are light, fluffy, and perfect for those avoiding gluten. The yeast gives them a wonderful texture and a subtle tang that makes breakfast feel special. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings.

Serving ideas

Serve these waffles warm with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream. They also pair well with nut butters or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. For a savory twist, try topping them with avocado and a fried egg.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep them crisp, reheat in a toaster or oven rather than a microwave. You can also freeze cooked waffles and toast them directly from frozen for a quick breakfast.
