I made these w/ the chia instead of flax and the flavor is great – but I had a super hard time with them sticking to the waffle iron… I only have a Belgian iron so maybe that was it :( But the pieces I ripped off the iron were super yummy haha. I tried 3 times and then made pancakes. I would love to try them again with a regular iron and see if that works. Thanks for the recipe.

Wanted to share that I did try these today. I have a Belgian waffle maker which I realized offers another level of challenge to gluten-free waffles.

However, with this recipe I had success! Here are some additional tips that I learned. Cook in the center of the waffle iron and take out as soon as the waffle iron tells you that the waffle is done. Overcooking the waffle made it very hard to remove from the iron. I used a bamboo chopstick to release the waffle as well as a fork.

Couldn’t be happier with the result! Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the hours I know you spent on developing this recipe! I have tried and failed at gluten-free waffles over and over. I was in a holding pattern between looking for another recipe to try and suffer possibly another defeat or giving up entirely. Your comments about the difficultly you experienced convinces me to give this a try.

Hi Afrina! I think the brown rice flour might be a better substitute. Buckwheat’s flavour might be too strong for this combo. Hope that helps :)
