Gluten-Free Cornbread Waffles

Warm and cozy gluten-free cornbread waffles that are crispy on the edges and soft in the center, perfect for breakfast or any meal.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour (1-to-1 blend)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (or coconut oil or vegan butter)
  • 1 large egg (or 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water)
  • 1–2 tbsp sugar (to taste; can substitute with honey or maple syrup)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: cornmeal, gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and optional sugar.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: buttermilk, melted butter, and egg (or substitute).
  3. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.
  4. Heat the waffle iron and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
  5. Spoon the batter into the waffle iron without overfilling it.
  6. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until crispy; adjust time for desired crispiness.

Notes

For best results, if using a waffle iron, keep an eye on the cooking time as sugar can make them brown quickly. To keep waffles warm, place them in a wire rack in the oven.
