Celiac sufferers, rejoice! Get out that waffle iron and expand that brunch menu—Gluten-Free Waffles are here at last.

Everyone should know what it’s like to wake up and smell waffles emanating from the kitchen (I am presuming you keep your waffle iron in the kitchen and not, say, in the washroom.). Unfortunately, there are those among us whose bodies are trying to thwart this singular joy. To those I say, “I feel you.”

I also say, “Why not try this recipe!” Thanks to some ingredient tweaking, I’ve produced a version of my traditional waffle recipe that now allows those who cannot tolerate gluten to indulge in everyone’s favorite ironed breakfast dish.

If you’re like me, you will know several Celiac-disease sufferers and others whose tolerance for gluten is negligible. You’ll recognize them as the ones who come over for a group brunch and limit their eating to fruit and yogurt. Well, no more will you associate an upset stomach with my house!

Are Gluten-Free Waffles Healthy?

These waffles aren’t any healthier or worse for you than most other waffle recipes I’ve posted on the site. Their main selling feature is their lack of gluten, which should appeal to a fair number of you. Not only are they gluten-free, they are also vegetarian. Keep in mind the nutritional value of the toppings you’ll no doubt add to your waffles. Just because they aren’t technically an ingredient in your waffles, doesn’t mean their fats and sugars don’t contribute to the bottom line of your meal.

How do I Prevent My Waffles From Sticking To The Iron?

I have some suggestions to mitigate the risk of your waffles not wanting to leave the cozy confines of the iron:

• Preheat the iron and don’t use it until it’s fully heated.
• Use plenty of the nonstick spray, or with a high-heat oil, brush the iron completely.
• What kind of waffle iron do you have? These days you can get a nonstick version, which should help you out big time.
• Don’t open the iron prematurely. They could be sticking because the batter is still liquidy.
• Don’t overfill. We all love waffles but if you don’t limit the amount to the manufacturer’s recommendation, you could be in for a mess.
• Add a bit of fat (e.g., melted butter or oil) to your waffle batter. I’ve found this can help.
• Wait for the steam to subside before opening the iron up.
• If all else fails, use parchment paper to separate the mix from the actual iron. Just make sure the paper doesn’t interfere with the iron’s ability to close.

FAQs & Tips

Serving Suggestions

Before we get into suggestions, the question you need to ask yourself is, Is this meant to be your breakfast or your dessert? If it’s your breakfast and is meant to be a healthy way to start your day, serve your waffles with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (pretty much any berry). Greek yogurt, nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds), coconut flakes (especially if you used coconut oil earlier), and honey also make wonderful morning toppings. If you are making these to be a sweet treat then go all in and add whipped cream and/or powdered sugar. You can also add chocolate chips for a boost of chocolate goodness.

How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms

The shiitakes are doing well. They are fine. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We've tried everything. Even the scissors. They keep falling out of our hands. What's the matter?

There's a trick to that. To make the mushroom stem stick out, wrap a rubber band around it and twist it tightly. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.

You might think that it seems too simple. It is. But it's also very powerful.

The rubber band makes it slippery so that it feels natural when you pick up the stem. It doesn't hurt to keep the stem in place.

You can now try it. You'll be amazed how easy it is to cut mushrooms.
