Summer is the time of birthdays in our house. What better way to celebrate the birthday "person" than to make to a special treat? We enjoy birthday cakes as most people do, but for fun, this funfetti waffle can't be beaten!
Now please don't think I am a terrible mom for making this sugary treat for breakfast. It is summer and my teens sleep super late right now. They usually stumble out of bed early to eat, then they go back to bed. This is the "second breakfast" celebration :-). Keep reading below...I made a video to show you how easy these waffles are to make!!
Gluten Free Waffles For Dessert
Why should waffles only be for breakfast? All you need is a waffle iron or frozen waffles to make new and interesting things. My son created this fun recipe for waffle cones because a few years ago, you couldn't buy gluten free ice cream cones. The frozen gluten free waffles flatten to make awesome waffle ice cream cones!
If your crew loves waffles and cake, this waffle dessert is the perfect combination to make everyone happy. I used a wonderful gluten free cake recipe of mine to make the waffle batter for this recipe. (And if you really want a great traditional gluten free birthday cake, my gluten free vanilla cake recipe is the recipe you need to make.)
Instructions:
Pour your dry ingredients into a large bowl. Whisk to blend.
Add the wet ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
Pour your wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Add your waffle batter to a waffle iron. Allow cooking for 5 minutes until the waffle is cooked. If you use a lot of waffle batter, you may need to cook it longer.
Carefully remove the waffle from the waffle iron. Top with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge!
Are sprinkles gluten free?
How fun is this with all of the colorful rainbow sprinkles? We hope you like these funfetti waffles as much as we do! Definitely make sure you use gluten free sprinkles. It never occurred to me to check this, but you do need to be careful.
Wilton sprinkles are not gluten free because they are made on shared equipment. Here are my favorite gluten free sprinkles to use: Chef's Select, Supernatural brand, and Sweetapolita.
