- 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates with spray or oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, applesauce (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount specified by your iron’s instructions (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle).
- Cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy, and the steam stops escaping, typically 4 to 6 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffle and serve immediately, or keep warm in a single layer on a wire rack in a 200F oven while you cook the remaining batter.
Notes
- For extra crispness, use melted butter instead of applesauce and let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- If your gluten-free blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- You can substitute oat flour for the GF blend for a different texture, but you may need to slightly increase the liquid.
