Hello lovelies,
Guys, I need you to settle a debate for me: would you say that pancakes and waffles are both allowed to be eaten on pancake day or should pancake day just be for pancakes? I’m on team pancakes & waffles are both allowed myself but I’d love to know your thoughts.
Anyway, despite whatever people think, I’m here today to share with you my gluten free waffles which believe me when I say, your going to fall in love with! Oh yes, they are THAT good.
It’s funny, waffles have been around for century’s now but I feel like they’ve only really become something people love to eat over the last 10 years. What with places like Creams, Sprinkles & Jojo’s opening up, waffles have become a huge obsession in the UK… and I’m not surprised, they are blooming delicious.
I’ve been desperate to share this recipe with you for a while now as I know so many of you will love these as much as my family does. so let’s get into it:
Category: Breakfast / Desert / Sweet Treat
Serves: 20
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 2-3 Minutes
Overall Time: 20 Minutes
Ingredients You Need:
- 400g Of Gluten Free Plain Flour
- 3tbsp Of White Granulated Sugar
- 1tbsp Of Baking Powder
- 3tbsp Of Coconut Oil, Melted
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1tsp Of Vanilla Extract
- 350g Of Semi-Skimmed Milk
How To Make Waffles:
- Firstly, gather together your equipment and ingredients.
- Secondly, in a large bowl, mix together the 400g of plain flour, 3tbsp of granulated sugar and 1tbsp of baking powder.
- Now, in a large measuring jug, whisk together the 3tbsp of melted coconut oil, 350g of semi-skimmed milk and 1tsp of vanilla extract.
- Next, whisk the 2 large eggs into the measuring jug.
- Once all the wet ingredients have been mixed together, pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until well combined (TIP: the mixture may be lumpy which is fine).
- At this point, if you think the mixture is too thick, mix in some more milk. You want the mixture to be smooth enough so you can pour it into the waffle pan.
- On a medium-high heat, heat up your waffle pan.
- Once heated, spray the waffle pan with low calorie cooking spray to stop the waffles from sticking.
- When the pan has heated, using a measuring jug or ladle, pour the mixture into the waffle pan. Cook the waffles on one side for 2 minutes then flip over and cook the other side for 2 minutes.
- Finally, once the waffles have cooked, take them off the pan and serve!
That’s your Waffles prepared, cooked and ready for you to serve and enjoy!
How good do these look? I’m obsessed with how these turned out.
Of course, if you don’t have waffle pan like myself, use whatever waffle maker you’ve got. obviously, the bigger the waffle maker, the less amount the waffles this mixture will make. If it is larger, I’d estimate this recipe would make at least 8 large waffles.
Let me know in the comments below if you make these waffles yourself and if you do, what your thoughts are on them. Did you enjoy?
Sending you tons of love & hugs as always,

You can’t beat a good waffle, these ones really are delicious! Super fluffy inside. Thank you so much for commenting Xo
I wouldn’t really mind waffles on Pancake day. It almost close recipe and both taste delicious.
The photos are great, showcasing these magnificent pancakes! I don’t view waffles as the same as pancakes even though the ingredients are the same they are so difficult BUT we can eat whatever we like. Lets make our own rules haha
Happy pancakes day for Tuesday 🙂
Author
Ah thank you so much, that means the world as I’ve been trying real hard with my photos recently! Honestly, this is such a easy recipe to make. These certainly aren’t as hard as other waffle recipes I’ve seen. Exactly haha;). I hope you had a great pancake day. Thank you so much for commenting Xo

It’s a day to celebrate both the waffle and pancake in my opinion, they are so similar in recipe anyway haha. They really are delicious. Thank you so much for commenting Xo
I love a good waffle or a pancake with strawberries. Add some whipped cream or melted white chocolate and you have my idea of heaven. How will gluten free flour affect the taste and texture?
Author
Oooo yes! You can’t beat a waffle or pancake with those toppings – white chocolate & strawberry is a match made in heaven and a personal fav of mine. I suppose the only textual thing I noticed was the mixture was slightly lumpier than your everyday waffle mixture but it certainly didn’t affect the taste. They really are delicious! Thank you so much for commenting Xo
I love that you post such yummy GF recipes! I’ve been trying to be more mindful about my eating habits so your posts are appreciated. I’m more of a pancake girl but these waffles look delicious! Thank you for sharing.

Oh these are so cute! I love that they’re mini and almost bite sized! These would make a great breakfast, I’d definitely pair them with fruit too and maybe some yoghurt x
Author
You just can’t beat mini food, can you? It’s almost as if you can eat more because they’re small haha;) ooo yes, I love the sound of that! Waffles topped with fruit is defiantly a winning combo. Thank you so much for commenting Xo

It’s madness how quick it came round, isn’t it? Time is just flying by, it’s crazy. You can’t beat waffles on pancake day, they are very similar in recipe to a pancake tbh with you. They are honestly SO delicious. Thank you so much for commenting Xo

Author
Yes defiantly try this recipe, these are honestly so SO yummy! It’s my go-to waffle recipe now. I hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for commenting Xo
I’m defo a team pancake day person. However, waffles are similar. I’d be more sad if you ate something normal like burger and chips or shepherds pie! LOL. These look delicious.
Author
I totally get that! Honestly, waffles and pancakes are super similar in recipe. I love that! Pancake day is purely for pancakes and waffles – nothing else haha. Thank you so much for commenting Xo
These look delicious!
P.s. I didn’t even know there is such thing as pancake day 🙂 Isn’t a pancake day is whenever you want to cook some pancakes? 😉
Author
Oh really? it’s quite a big celebrated day here in the UK. Haha yes of course! everyday is pancake day… right?;) Thank you so much for commenting Xo
I am with you – both should be served! A few years ago, for pancake day, I made the best french toast ever known to man! These waffles are brilliant, Cristina had to cut on her gluten intake and they will be an amazing option for all of us!
Author
Hell yeah! Oh my days that sounds amazing. Is it strange I’ve never tried French toast? I feel like that’s something I need to change asap. Oooo yes, these are the perfect gf waffles, they are super yummy. It’s my go-to recipe! I hope you all enjoy. Thank you so much for commenting Xo
These look delicious! Admittedly I’ve never actually tried making waffles. I love that these are almost bite-sized ones though!
Author
They are honestly SO easy to make, it’s as easy as a pancake batter as they are very similar in recipe. You can’t beat a good mini waffle… it means you can eat more, right?;) Thank you so much for commenting Xo
These look delicious! Now I want a waffle maker.
Author
These are honestly so super yummy! I actually brought a waffle making frying pan from Aldi’s a couple of years ago which I used to make these! It’s just as good as a waffle maker if that’s something you’d prefer to buy. I’m sure you can buy them online! Thank you so much for commenting Xo
They do look absolutely incredible and I’ve almost got the hang of making the batter for the waffles and then I Chuck it in my waffle maker x
Author
These are honestly so so delicious! They are so easy to make once you’ve got the hang of it, aren’t they? This recipe is such a quick and easy make, it’s my go-to! Thank you so much for commenting Xo
These look divine! My sister is gluten-free so I will have to make these for her. I agree, you can eat waffles on Pancake Day. We don’t have Pancake Day in the US, so I don’t know if my opinion really counts, lol. 😉
Author
Ooo yes, I hope she enjoys these! It’s my go-to recipe, I’m obsessed. Honestly, all opinions count as far as I’m concerned, waffles are always allowed on pancake day haha. Thank you so much for commenting Xo
They look delicious!! I can’t remember the last time I had waffles but love waffles and pancakes so I’d definitely be open to waffles on pancake day for a change!
Author
Ooo I really hope you enjoy! You can’t beat a good waffle, can you? Thank you so much for commenting Xo
