⭐ Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend with Xanthan Gum (Best Gluten-Free Option)
1 cup gluten-free flour blend plus 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum per 1 cup bread flour Quick tip: Can produce waffles with acceptable texture for gluten-free diets but will differ in chew and crispness.
Gluten-free flour blends lack gluten, so xanthan gum is added to mimic gluten’s binding properties, improving elasticity and structure.
Results vary widely depending on the blend; batter consistency and hydration may need adjustment. Avoid overmixing to prevent gummy texture.
Waffles will be softer and less chewy, with a different mouthfeel than bread flour waffles, but suitable for gluten-free needs.
