Organic Belgian Waffle Recipe (Gluten Free & Grain Free)

There is one thing that I absolutely love to indulge in, Belgian Waffles!  Why couldn’t I make a healthier version that tastes amazing and was made with real, wholesome, healthy ingredients?  I couldn’t think of any reason why not, so I set out to make these delicious Belgian Waffles.

So what is a Belgian Waffle?  According to Wikipedia, The Belgian waffle is a type of waffle identified by its larger size, lighter batter and higher grid pattern which forms deep pockets and has larger squares than other types. In Belgium, there are a number of different types of waffle, including the Brussels waffle, the Liège waffle and the stroopwafel; what is known in North America as the “Belgian waffle” is most similar to the Brussels waffle. As opposed to a traditional waffle, the Belgian waffle attributes its height to the use of yeast batter instead of a pancake batter.  Though one of the main ingredients in Belgian waffles is yeast, this ingredient can be substituted with self-rising flour.   In this recipe, we are substituting baking powder for yeast.   They are often eaten as a breakfast food. In North America, they are usually served with butter and maple syrup or with vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit (such as strawberries) as a dessert.

A Belgian waffle Iron is needed in order to make these wonderful waffles.  Check out the links below this recipe to see about purchasing a Belgian waffle maker.  I have showcased the one I use in my kitchen.  It is simple and easy to use, easy to clean and store and isn’t too expensive.
