Gluten Free Waffles with Whipped Honey Cream

Today we're preparing a cozy batch of Gluten-free Waffles with whipped honey cream. It's a perfectly cozy breakfast for brisk fall mornings or long lazy weekends.

As autumn begins to settle in, we're welcoming more cozy recipes to the site during this seasonal transition. Enter our Gluten-Free Waffles served with a luscious dollop of Whipped Honey Cream. It is the perfect marriage of flavors that embodies everything we love about fall.

Recently I discovered you could whip honey into a creamy drizzle and that is what inspired today's recipe. I whipped into the fresh cream I had, as well as the waffle batter itself. Whipped honey is also wonderful as a spread on toast, pancakes, waffles (of course), cakes, etc.

Below, we'll dive a little deeper into the wonders of whipped honey, ingredient notes, and more gluten-free recipes to love! So, let's get into it.

Gluten Free Waffles - RECIPE OVERVIEW

Taste & Texture

For today's recipe, like all gluten-free recipes featured here on Living the Gourmet, I strive to make sure they are accessible recipes for everyone. So whether you are searching for a GF recipe or wondering if you can use the all-purpose flour you have on hand, the answer is, yes.

It is a 1:1 ratio swap so no matter what you store in your pantry, today's recipe will be just as delicious.

As I previously mentioned in my post for Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes, I opt for Krusteaz All Purpose Gluten Free Flour or King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour. Those have been my long-standing recommendations when it comes to gluten-free baking or cooking. Without fail, they always produce a non-detectable gluten-free result so you never have to sacrifice flavor or texture in the dishes you love.

Difficulty

I consider most breakfast foods entry-level. When asked by novice chefs what is the easiest meal they can start with, I often suggest a variety of breakfasts. Learn the different methods of cooking eggs to understand and gauge the range of your stovetop and timing. Working with pancake or waffle batters is a useful introduction to cake batters and baking. And because breakfasts can be sweet or savory, it is an easy way to experiment with seasoning.

Today's recipe is beginner-friendly, not to mention it is fun to make if you have a mini-waffle maker. It's what I like to call a one-bowl wonder- straight from the mixing bowl to the griddle. Furthermore, the batter can be made beforehand if you want to have an easy breakfast throughout the week.

Ingredient Checklist

• 1 cup gluten-free flour (or AP flour) - While I like using gluten-free flour for easier digestion, this recipe can be made with gluten-free or regular all-purpose flour. The ratio for substitution is 1:1.
  • Substitutions: As previously noted I recommend gluten-free blends. Today's blend consisted of rice flour, oat flour, and cassava.
• ½ teaspoon baking powder - Baking powder is an essential leavening agent with all pancake and waffle mixes.
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda - Intended to go hand-in-hand with baking powder, baking soda helps batters rise. I always use both of these ingredients.
• Pinch of salt - Salt helps bring the flavors out. A pinch is about ¼ teaspoon.
• 2 tablespoons honey, whipped - Take whatever honey you have on hand and beat it until it becomes a creamy consistency. I liked adding this to the heavy cream for topping, and it adds a much richer flavor as opposed to plain sugar. I also added it to the waffle batter itself. Because of its thicker consistency once whipped, you can serve it as a spread for your waffles as well.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla - Never to be skipped when it comes to cake or waffle batters, vanilla truly makes everything better.
• 1 large egg - A necessary binder for the batter.
• 3 tablespoons neutral oil - I like neutral oil or melted butter. I find oil easier to use when I'm making breakfast in a pinch, but melted butter does add more flavor depth. You can use any other oil for today's recipe as well.
• ½ cup milk - I always use whole milk for full flavor.
  • Substitutions: Alternatively, you can use dairy alternative milks such as oat, almond, or coconut.
• ½ cup heavy cream - Drizzle with syrup, spread with butter and whipped honey, dust with powdered sugar, or top with a dollop of cream. There is no right way to serve waffles or pancakes. The toppings elevate the dish. For today's recipe, I whipped heavy cream and added 1 tablespoon of whipped honey. It really makes the dish feel a little extra.
  • Substitutions: You can add a dollop of Greek yogurt with your favorite jam as well if you don't have fresh cream available.
