Low FODMAP Waffles Recipe Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)
• 2 tsp baking powder (gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup lactose-free milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
• 3 tbsp melted butter (or neutral oil)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

How To Make Low FODMAP Waffles

1. Prepare the iron: Preheat your waffle maker and lightly grease the plates with oil or cooking spray to ensure the waffles don’t stick.
2. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk the gluten-free flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and optional cinnamon in a medium bowl until well combined.
3. Combine wet ingredients: Add the eggs, lactose-free milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract directly into the bowl with the dry mixture.
4. Whisk the batter: Mix until the batter is smooth; a few small lumps are perfectly fine, so be careful not to overmix.
5. Let the batter rest: Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes, which helps the gluten-free flour hydrate and results in a better texture.
6. Cook the waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook according to your machine’s instructions until golden and crisp.
7. Serve immediately: Remove the waffles carefully and serve them warm with your favorite low FODMAP toppings.

Recipe Tips

• Let the Batter Rest: Resting the batter for 5 minutes is crucial for gluten-free baking. It allows the rice flour in the blend to absorb the liquid, preventing a gritty texture.
• Check Your Flour Blend: Ensure your gluten-free flour includes xanthan gum. If it doesn’t, you will need to add 1/2 teaspoon of it to help the waffles hold their shape.
• Avoid Overmixing: Even though there is no gluten to develop, over-whisking can incorporate too much air or make the batter tough. Mix just until the large streaks of flour disappear.
• Keep Them Warm: If you are cooking for a crowd, place finished waffles on a wire rack in a 200°F oven. The wire rack keeps air circulating so the bottoms don’t get soggy.

What To Serve Low FODMAP Waffles

Serve these crispy waffles with a generous drizzle of pure maple syrup and a side of fresh fruit like sliced strawberries or blueberries. For added protein, a dollop of lactose-free yogurt or a few slices of crispy bacon works beautifully. If you want a more decadent treat, a small sprinkle of pecans or a dusting of powdered sugar rounds out the meal perfectly.

How To Store Low FODMAP Waffles Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Place cooled waffles in an airtight container or zip-top bag and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Flash freeze waffles on a baking sheet for an hour before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. They will stay fresh for up to 2 months and can be reheated in a toaster.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I make these waffles dairy-free? Yes, you can easily swap the lactose-free milk for unsweetened almond milk or soy milk (made from soy protein). Use a neutral oil or a vegan butter substitute in place of the melted butter.
• Why are my gluten-free waffles soggy? Sogginess usually happens if the waffle iron wasn’t hot enough or if the waffles weren’t cooked long enough. Make sure the steam has mostly stopped escaping the iron before you open it.
• Is maple syrup low FODMAP? Pure maple syrup is low FODMAP and safe to enjoy. However, avoid “pancake syrup” or “sugar-free” versions, as these often contain high fructose corn syrup or sugar alcohols like sorbitol.
