Ingredients

3 large eggs separated
1/2 cup butter melted
1 tablespoon gluten-free vanilla
1 cup milk
1/3 cup almond flour
1/3 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1/3 cup potato starch
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar optional

Instructions

In two stand mixer bowls, separate the egg yolks and egg whites
Mix milk, melted butter and vanilla into the egg yolks
In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients (sugar is totally optional, they turn out great either way)
Slowly add dry to wet and mix until well blended
Whip egg whites until stiff
Fold in stiff egg whites into the batter
Cook the waffles by the scooping out 3/4 full large ice cream scoop into a preheated, greased waffle iron
You can make large Belgian waffles by using almost two scoops of batter

Notes

Pro Tip: Using a large ice cream scoop to put batter on the waffle maker makes it easy to get the right size every time. A 1/2-1/3 measuring cup works too. You can make large Belgian waffles by using 2 scoops of batter.

Spray waffle pan - For best results, make sure you spray your waffle pan with nonstick spray before adding batter. Even nonstick pans can end up making a mess!
Add toppings - Add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, melted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, chocolate chips, etc. before serving for more flavor
Don't over mix - Don't over mix your batter or your waffles might turn out flatter then expected.
Don't over cook - When your waffle maker stops steaming, that means your waffles are done. It should take about 5-6 minutes depending on the waffle iron.
