Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 4 tablespoons Melted Butter or Olive Oil
  • 1 ½ cups Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives, chopped

Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter (or olive oil), and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.

Heat the Waffle Iron

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a little melted butter/olive oil.

Cook the Waffles

Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended by the manufacturer. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually around 3-5 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron.

Serve

Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately. These are delicious on their own or topped with sour cream, chives, or a fried egg.
