What toppings can I add to gluten-free waffles?
There are so many delectable toppings to explore that can transform these golden delights into a breakfast masterpiece. For a classic option, we love to drizzle maple syrup or honey generously over the waffles, allowing the rich, amber sweetness to seep into every nook and cranny. Fresh berries or sliced bananas bring a burst of fruity goodness, adding vibrant colors and natural sweetness. For an extra layer of decadence, spread Nutella or peanut butter, and add a handful of chopped nuts for a delightful crunch. You could even top everything off with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
If savory is more your style, consider topping your gluten-free waffles with creamy avocado slices, smoked salmon, or a poached egg for a satisfying and hearty twist. The possibilities are endless here, so we invite you to get creative with your waffle making experience!
Can you prep the waffle batter in advance?
You can absolutely prepare the waffle batter in advance here, saving you time and making breakfast a breeze on those busy mornings. First, simply mix the wet and dry ingredients as directed in the recipe until you have a nice smooth consistency. You'll want to store the batter in an airtight container or cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it until you're ready to use it. It should keep well for up to 48 hours. When breakfast time arrives, give the batter a quick mix in case any separation has occurred (which is completely normal) and your prepped waffle batter is ready to go. Just fire up the waffle iron, pour in the batter, and in a matter of minutes, you'll have warm, golden, gluten-free waffles ready to be enjoyed with your favorite toppings. This make-ahead option ensures that you can enjoy a homemade breakfast without the morning rush.
