Making gluten-free sourdough starter does take some patience, but it's pretty easy to whip together and feed.  And, it makes the most delicious waffles.  These are a modification of my regular sourdough waffles - with some egg-free and dairy-free options!  I also have some tasty chocolate chip sourdough waffles and lemon-blueberry sourdough waffles, too!  Enjoy! 

GF Sourdough waffles with apple chunks added. Yum! 

Wholesome Sourdough Waffles - Egg Free, Dairy Free, Gluten Free!

Makes 16-18 waffles
(My waffle iron makes 6 waffles at a time, and I can fill it almost 3x)

Mix in a 4 cup tupperware the night before you want your waffles:
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 tsp xanthan gum

Add and mix in, just until combined:
1 cup water (filtered, if your water contains chlorine)
1 cup gluten-free sourdough starter

Put the tupperware lid on tightly, and let rest overnight at room temperature. This mixture will grow naturally overnight due to the yeast, so make sure your container is at least a 4 cup container and can be fully closed.


In the morning, preheat your waffle iron.
Mix together in a small bowl and let sit 3-5 minutes, stirring once:
2 Tbsp chia seeds
6 Tbsp water

(You can use 2 eggs in place of the chia seeds & water if you prefer)

Mix together in a large bowl, just until combined:
Chia seed mixture (or 2 eggs, if preferred)
5 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp flaxseed meal (optional)
1-2 apples, peeled and finely diced (optional, but I prefer it)
Mixture from last night (starter/flour/water)

Butter waffle iron lightly each time you use it.  Cook batter in pre-heated waffle iron until nicely browned and crispy.  Remove from waffle iron and place on cooling rack (I do this even when making my favorite plain or apple-cinnamon waffles, or any waffles, because it keeps them from ever getting soggy on the bottom, especially if I make extras to freeze).

Best served fresh with maple syrup, or jam, or any topping you enjoy on your waffles!
Once cooled, you can freeze these in a ziploc bag and re-heat in a toaster oven for quick breakfasts.
Enjoy!!!
