These gluten-free sourdough waffles are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional waffles. These waffles are made with gluten-free flours, more specifically a blend of rice flour, almond flour, and tapioca starch that are free of gluten, the protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.

The key ingredient in gluten-free sourdough waffles is sourdough starter. Sourdough starter is a mixture of flour and water that has been fermented with wild yeast and bacteria. This fermentation process not only adds a tangy flavor to the waffles, but it also makes them more easily digestible for people with gluten sensitivities. Gluten-free sourdough discard can be used as well. If you don’t have a sourdough starter, see here how to make it: LINK .

To make gluten-free sourdough waffles, you will need a gluten-free flour blend, sourdough starter, eggs, milk, oil, honey, and vanilla extract. The process is easy and quick:

• Begin by mixing the gluten-free flour blend, sourdough starter, eggs, milk, oil, vanilla and honey in a large bowl.
• Next, add a few drops of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and mix until the batter is smooth.
• Put the batter to rest at room temperature overnight (8 to 12 hours). During summer or warm weather, I prefer to leave it to rest in the fridge.
• The morning after, cook the waffles on the waffle iron and finish with your favorite toppings

My favorite topping on these sourdough waffles is raspberry chia jam + maple syrup.
