When I shared my recipe for my easy vegan gluten free waffles earlier this year, I teased that I would be sharing a new gingerbread waffle recipe closer to the holidays. Well, here it is: Vegan Gluten Free Gingerbread Waffles in all its glorious deliciousness. Trust me, it was worth the wait!

Vegan Gluten Free Gingerbread Waffles are a great breakfast or brunch idea for the holidays.

Building gingerbread houses during the holidays isn’t really my thing. They’re pretty, but I don’t have the patience for something so intricate. I’ll do the quick little kits with my kids but that’s as far as I can go (huge credit to those of you who make gingerbread houses like these!). I prefer to cure my gingerbread cravings with gingerbread chocolate chip muffins, chewy vegan gluten free gingerbread cookies, delicious vegan gluten free gingerbread loaves, and of course, gingerbread waffles!

These Vegan Gluten Free Gingerbread Waffles are the perfect breakfast for a cozy holiday morning.

I made these waffles for our Christmas morning breakfast last year and they were a hit so they made a return appearance again this year. I think I’ve started a new holiday family tradition! They turned out so well this year, the kids asked me to make them again the next day. Well, children…if you insist…you don’t have to ask twice…!

Unfortunately, to make them again, I didn’t have a key ingredient so it had to wait a few days. When I did make them again, it was for lunch this time. Why not, it’s the holidays, treat yo’self. I also took that time as an opportunity to snap these pictures so I could finally share the recipe here with you.

These Vegan Gluten Free Gingerbread Waffles are so delicious, you'll want to make them all year and not just during the holidays!

The mix for these vegan gluten free gingerbread waffles comes together quickly, the hardest part is waiting for the entire batch to cook (they smell amazing as you will soon see!). Like my other waffle recipes, these are also crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just the way waffles should be.

Delightful Adventures Tip

  • Be sure to read this tip on how to keep homemade waffles crisp while the entire batch cooks. No one wants a soggy waffle!

Serve these Vegan Gluten Free Gingerbread Waffles to your family during the holidays and they may just ask for them year round!

They’re filled with warm gingerbread spices and flavour, so the first bite, and every other bite, will taste just like the festive season. Serve them with pure maple syrup, fresh fruits or berries, or a spoonful of vanilla bean coconut whipped cream. They’re such a great treat for the holidays! And…if you have the ingredients and a craving that’s strong enough, serve them in the middle of July too. Why not? I will never judge you for that (because I will likely be doing the same 🙂 ).

This recipe for easy vegan gluten free gingerbread waffles are a great breakfast idea for Christmas morning (or any other morning during the holidays!).
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegan
Serves: 4
Calories: 365 kcal
Author: Gwen @ Delightful Adventures
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (I use almond)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend (I use Bob's Red Mill brand, see note below)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Turn oven on to "warm" setting or to 200F to keep your finished waffles warm and crispy (see link to directions for this tip above).
  2. Turn on waffle maker to desired temperature setting. Setting will vary depending on your waffle maker and how you prefer your waffles.
  3. Whisk almond milk, coconut oil, pumpkin puree, molasses, and ground flax seeds together in a medium-sized bowl, whisking enough to incorporate the flax seeds. Let sit for 5-minutes.
  4. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, allspice, ground cloves, and salt together in a large bowl.
  5. Slowly add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well until incorporated.
  6. Ladle enough waffle mixture into your waffle maker so the bottom of the waffle maker is filled. Close waffle maker and cook according to your waffle maker's directions.
Recipe Notes
  • This recipe makes 4 standard sized round waffles.
  • It's important to know that all gluten-free flour blends use different ingredients and ratios, so results will always vary when you use different blends. I have never used any other brand of flour to make these waffles (other than Bob's Red Mill), so please know that your results may not be the same as mine if you substitute with a different gluten-free flour.

    My wife and kids are gluten and dairy intolerant so I tried this. Batter was still too thick, which is something I’ve encountered before w gluten free flour (like making Namaste’s pancake recipe). As I have done when I’ve run into this before, I add more almond milk until the consistency is less viscous.

    Really nice, love the flavor, crisp exterior, chewy inside. It’s a winner. Since we’re not vegan, we don’t have any issues using eggs, if I incorporated eggs, should I drop anything else out (like the flax??)?

      HI Eric! I’m glad you tried it and that you liked the flavour and the texture. You are right, the flax mixture is the egg replacement. Technically, it should work of you swap the flax out for real eggs but since I have never tried this recipe with eggs myself, I can’t guarantee the results will be the same. If you do try, let me know how it goes!

            Just wondering if Eric tested it using eggs & how it turned out. Would you replace the flax with one or two eggs? Gwen, The texture of your waffles look perfect!! I can’t wait to try them!!

            Hi Rebecca!

            I never heard back from Eric, so I’m not sure how things worked out for him. I have had people tell me that they’ve replaced the flax eggs for regular eggs in other recipes and they’ve reported back that the results were great. The most recent one was for my pumpkin spice muffins (see the comments here: http://delightfuladventures.com/vegan-gluten-free-pumpkin-spice-muffins/ )

            Technically, replacing the flax for eggs should work fine. The flax mixture here would be the equivalent to 1 egg. BUT, I have never tried it myself, so I am unsure of what the results would be like. If you do try, please come back and let me know. I’m really curious 🙂 And yes, the texture is really perfect. I can’t wait to make these again soon!

    Had gluten free friends stop by last night and I wanted to fix them breakfast. Looked and found this. Was fantastic and right on with everything. Batter seemed thick but cooked up delicious. (So does my WW I make). She brought hazelnut milk. Really tasty waffles and wants the recipe. Thank you!

    Looks like a great receipe but I don’t have a waffle maker. Would this batter work as pancakes?

      Hi Cheryl,

      A few adjustments would need to be made to turn this recipe into pancakes. I have been planning on doing just that but I have not had the time to experiment with it yet. If you want to try, you would have to reduce the oil down to a couple tablespoons. Let me know if you do try and how it goes!

    Has anyone ever tried this with Namaste flour?

      Hi Lauren! I have not tried with Namaste flour, we don’t have that brand available here in Canada that I know of. If you do end up trying it with Namaste, come back and let me know how it went! 🙂
