Gluten Free Belgian Style Waffles

Gluten free Belgian Style Waffles may not sound exciting, but once you try this recipe, you may not go back to the original recipe cousin. Even without the gluten, the additional baking powder causes the waffle to rise, giving those deep pockets for fruit or syrup.  As you’ll see in the ingredient list below, we’ve converted the measurements to weight in grams.  Weighing the ingredients provides much better control over the finished product.

More research needs to be conducted, but some experts say a gluten-free diet, including these Gluten Free Belgian Style Waffles might also be a benefit to those who haven’t been diagnosed with a gluten-related medical conditions.   Food Nation Radio spoke with Dr. William Davis, author of “Wheat Belly” who provided insight as to why the instances of celiac and gut-related diseases have increased dramatically.

In a standing mixer or with hand mixer, whip the egg whites until peaks just start to form. Add the sugar, slowly and whip until stiff peaks form.
