Step 1
About 9 hours before you want to eat, or the night before, mix the warm water, honey, and yeast in a small bowl. Give it a stir and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it gets bubbly. In a large bowl, combine the milk and olive oil. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free flour, about a quarter cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. You want the batter to be thick but still pourable—if it feels too thin, sprinkle in a little more flour, just an eighth of a cup at a time, until the texture feels right. Stir the bubbly yeast mixture into the batter until just combined. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and leave it on the counter overnight. The batter will puff up and might even triple in size, so make sure your bowl is big enough. When you’re ready to cook, mix in the beaten egg and salt. Heat up your waffle iron according to the instructions, then pour about a quarter cup of batter onto it. Cook until the waffle turns golden brown and the steam stops, usually around 5 minutes. Keep going with the rest of the batter, and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These waffles are a perfect blend of convenience and flavor. By using yeast and an overnight rest, they develop a light, airy texture that is hard to achieve with baking powder alone. Plus, they are gluten-free, making them a great option for anyone with dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste.
How to serve
Serve these waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream. They also pair nicely with a drizzle of honey or a spread of nut butter for added protein and flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer and then transfer to a zip-top bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven to restore crispness before serving.
