Get ready for some gluten-free bliss with these Gluten Free Nutella Waffles. With a crispy outside and irresistibly fluffy inside, they are the perfect brunch treat. Any day that starts with chocolate is better in my book!
My kids are notoriously difficult when it comes to food. When I create something they all love a feel a major victory. That holds true even if it is chocolate chip cookies, fried chicken sandwiches, or something like waffles.
These waffles do have a little something extra that pushes them over the edge in the yumminess category - Nuttela! Best of all, they are gluten free, so everyone can enjoy!
Ingredients
- Gluten Free Flour Blend: Use a 1:1 flour blend that has xanthan gum in it, or make your own. I like Bob's Red Mill.
- Sugar of choice: Adds sweetness; opt for a natural sweetener or a sugar-free option like Swerve if you prefer.
- Sea salt: Kosher salt works as well.
- Baking soda: Make sure you use baking soda - it isn't the same as baking powder.
- Chocolate Hazelnut Spread: Use Nutella or your favorite brand.
- Butter: Salted and unsalted butter both work.
- Plain yogurt: Use a full-fat yogurt for best results.
- Milk: Either whole milk or 2% works great.
- Eggs: I recommend large eggs.
Tips and Tricks
- Don't forget to fully preheat your waffle iron - it makes a difference in your results.
- Use room temperature eggs and yogurt to help the batter blend smoothly and cook evenly.
- Don’t overmix the batter; stirring just until combined will keep the waffles light and airy.
- Keep cooked waffles warm and crispy in a 250°F oven while you finish cooking.
- If the hazelnut spread is too thick to drizzle, gently warm it with a splash of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated from frozen in a toaster for a quick breakfast option.
