Gluten-Free Sourdough Waffles
Description
This recipe relies on an overnight fermentation of gluten-free flour blended with sourdough discard and coconut or regular milk, resulting in a bubbly batter that provides complexity and lightness. The mixture is then combined with eggs, honey, avocado oil, baking soda to reactivate leavening, and salt for balance.
Cooking the batter in a preheated, lightly oiled waffle iron yields waffles that have a crisp exterior and moist, airy inside. The fermentation contributes a subtle tang and improved texture not typically found in quick-mix gluten-free waffles. The recipe allows choice of milk type and uses natural sweeteners.
These waffles are suitable for those avoiding gluten and offer a distinctive flavor from the sourdough component. They are practical to prepare the night before and cook quickly on demand, ideal for special breakfasts or brunches.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough discard unfed starter, gluten-free
- 1 cup all-purpose flour gluten-free
- 1 cup coconut milk or regular milk
- 2 egg
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
Instructions
- The night before you want to make waffles, combine 1 cup of sourdough discard (aka “unfed” sourdough starter) with 1 cup of gluten-free flour and 1 cup of milk - you can use regular milk or go with my favorite - canned coconut milk. Mix these ingredients together in a mixing bowl until a thick batter forms, cover with a kitchen towel, and allow it to sit overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- When you’re ready to make waffles, whisk the eggs, avocado oil, and honey together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the baking soda and sea salt over the sourdough batter, then pour the egg/oil mixture into the mixing bowl. Mix everything together until well-combined. The batter will be very bubbly..this is normal!
- Plug in your waffle iron (I use this mini waffle maker) and allow it to heat up all the way. Lightly spray it with cooking oil.
- Pour pancake batter onto the hot surface of the waffle iron and replace the lid. Cook until golden-brown and waffle iron indicates the waffles are finished.
- Top with desired toppings and enjoy!
