Gluten Free Waffles
Learn to make some delicious gluten free waffles perfect for any kind of morning! This waffle recipe uses almond flour and coconut flour

Short on time? Still want a healthy and tasty breakfast to start your day? Look no further, all you need is 10 minutes and some basic kitchen ingredients!
In this video, Frances Largeman-Roth shows you how to make gluten free waffles perfect for any kind of morning. Your dry ingredients for this waffle recipe are going to be corn flour, brown sugar, sorghum flour, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sea salt, and xanthan gum. And your wet ingredients will be some light buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg yolks and egg whites.
The first step is to start whipping up two egg whites - you're going to whip them into stiff peaks. Next, you're going to mix in your dry ingredients. First one cup of corn flour, 1/4 cup each of sorghum flour, almond flour, and coconut flour, the mix of salt, baking powder, and xantham gum, which is always needed in gluten free baking to hold everything together. Then, you're going to put together the wet ingredients: 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk at room temperature, a little bit of vegetable oil, two egg yolks, and some light brown sugar. Once you have the wet and dry ingredients ready, you're going to mix them together and then see if the egg whites are ready. When the egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks, you're going to add it to your batter to make them nice and fluffy. Once they're completely incorporated into the batter, you're ready to start cooking!
Before you start putting in your batter, spray your waffle iron with some cooking spray so they don't stick. Cook them until brown and ready, and enjoy these crunchy waffles with some always necessary maple syrup!

00:00:02.458 --> 00:00:04.199
Welcome to Gluten-Free Tasty.
3
00:00:04.199 --> 00:00:08.418
I'm Frances Largeman-Roth, and
today we are making buttermilk waffles.
4
00:00:08.418 --> 00:00:10.778
[MUSIC]
5
00:00:10.778 --> 00:00:12.830
And these things are amazing.
6
00:00:12.830 --> 00:00:14.290
So let's get started.
7
00:00:14.290 --> 00:00:18.960
We have two egg whites that I'm
gonna start whipping in our mixer.
8
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.080
We're gonna whip them into stiff peaks.
9
00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:24.730
Get it on medium, and then we're
gonna mix in our dry ingredients.
10
00:00:24.730 --> 00:00:27.620
I have a cup of corn flour, and
11
00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:31.500
then a quarter cup each of sorghum flour,
almond flour, and coconut flour.
12
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:36.170
We have some salt,
baking powder and xanthan gum.
13
00:00:36.170 --> 00:00:38.030
And of course in gluten free baking,
14
00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:40.780
you really need that xanthan gum
to hold everything together.
15
00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:46.698
[SOUND] And now we're gonna put
together our wet ingredients.
16
00:00:46.698 --> 00:00:51.330
I have one and three quarter cups
of buttermilk at room temperature.
17
00:00:51.330 --> 00:00:52.780
A little bit of vegetable oil.
18
00:00:54.590 --> 00:00:58.855
Two egg yolks, and some light brown sugar.
19
00:00:58.855 --> 00:01:06.828
[SOUND] Okay,
I've got my buttermilk mixture whisked.
20
00:01:06.828 --> 00:01:08.560
I have my dry ingredients.
21
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.420
We're gonna add the wet to our dry, and
22
00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:12.818
then we're gonna see if
these egg whites are ready.
23
00:01:12.818 --> 00:01:18.268
[SOUND] Our egg whites are now
whipped to stiff peaks.
24
00:01:18.268 --> 00:01:20.440
And, we're gonna add them in.
25
00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:26.750
And they're gonna add a lot of volume to
our batter, make it very nice and fluffy.
26
00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:29.024
So you just want to fold them in.
27
00:01:29.024 --> 00:01:30.609
You'd wanna smash them down,
28
00:01:30.609 --> 00:01:34.800
cuz you've already done all that
work to get them to be so fluffy.
29
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:38.300
We have the egg whites nicely folded in,
and
30
00:01:38.300 --> 00:01:40.800
completely incorporated into our batter.
31
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:42.800
Now it's ready to cook.
32
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:46.800
My waffle iron is fired up, and
I'm ready to make these waffles.
33
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:51.470
Okay, so I've sprayed it with some
cooking spray, so we don't stick.
34
00:01:51.470 --> 00:01:52.660
And so you're gonna spoon it in.
35
00:01:52.660 --> 00:01:56.170
And then just press down a wee bit.
36
00:01:57.980 --> 00:01:59.298
Like a big spoonful.
37
00:01:59.298 --> 00:02:03.018
[MUSIC]
38
00:02:03.018 --> 00:02:04.430
So let's close our iron.
39
00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:09.610
And we're gonna wait until
the green light comes on.
40
00:02:09.610 --> 00:02:11.720
Oh, so nice.
41
00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:12.598
Beautiful.
42
00:02:12.598 --> 00:02:19.019
[MUSIC]
43
00:02:19.019 --> 00:02:20.838
You have to have your maple syrup.
44
00:02:20.838 --> 00:02:22.557
Okay.
45
00:02:22.557 --> 00:02:26.476
[MUSIC]
46
00:02:26.476 --> 00:02:31.600
A little crunchy on the outside,
nice and soft and fluffy on the inside.
47
00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:34.112
Very good, very satisfying.
48
00:02:34.112 --> 00:02:37.628
For HealthiNation, I'm Frances
Largeman-Roth, and I'll see you next time.
