Gluten-Free Freezer Waffles
Get rid of the pre-made boxed waffles from the store and make them yourself! These easy Gluten-Free Freezer Waffles are perfect to make ahead of time and keep a big batch in your freezer for busy mornings! They are made with oats and almond flour, so you are getting a dose of fiber and wholesome ingredients for breakfast. You will never need store-bought waffles again!
Why Homemade Waffles >> Store-Bought Waffles
Let’s be real: store-bought boxed waffles are convenient but they’re often filled with processed ingredients, added sugars and preservatives. Many brands use cheap flours, artificial flavors and oils you wouldn’t keep in your pantry.
These homemade gluten-free freezer waffles are different. They’re made with whole, clean ingredients like whole oats, almond flour, and ground flaxseed. All ingredients that you can easily keep on hand in your fridge and pantry.
The result? A waffle that tastes better and fuels your body better. You’ll taste the difference in every crispy, fluffy bite—and your body will thank you for skipping the boxed stuff.

Simple Ingredients
- Whole oats – if you have celiac disease or a serious gluten intolerance, make sure you get certified gluten-free oats!
- Almond flour – This is the bulk of the ‘flour’ that you will use. We are going with lots of fiber in these waffles! I always have almond flour from NOW Foods in my pantry!
- Ground flax seeds – not only does flax add more fiber, but also protein and healthy fats!
- Vanilla Extract – this adds a nice depth of flavor
- Cinnamon – I always put cinnamon in all of my waffles and pancakes, but you can leave it out if you want.
- Baking Soda & Baking Powder – We need to get the fluffiness!
- Eggs – Helps everything hold together and adds more fluff too.
- Milk – I normally use unsweetened soy milk, but you can use any type of milk you want.
How to Make Gluten-Free Freezer Waffles
Step 1: Make Oat Flour
In a blender, process oats into a fine flour. Just blend for about 30 seconds until the oats turn into flour. (I don’t every buy oat flour because it is expensive and you can so easily do it yourself)
Step 2: Add the rest of the ingredients
To the blender with the oats, add the almond flour, flax seeds, cinnamon, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, eggs, and milk.
Step 3: Blend the batter
Put the lid on the blender, and start at low speed. Once the blender is on, slowly turn up the speed to blend the batter until there are no more clumps. You may need to scrape down the sides halfway through if it is sticking.
Step 4: Cook the Waffles
Preheat and grease your waffle iron. Pour in batter and cook until golden and crisp (about 3–5 minutes). The amount of batter you use will depend on the size of your waffle iron. I have a standard sized round waffle iron, and I use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to pour in the batter.
Step 6: Cool & Freeze
Cool waffles completely. Freeze in a single layer by arranging them on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag or container to store.
Reheating is Easy!
- Toaster – Just pop them in!
- Oven – Bake at 350°F for 5–10 minutes.
- Air Fryer – 350°F for 3–4 minutes = super crispy edges.
Waffle Topping Ideas
- Blueberries + Greek yogurt + drizzle of honey
- Sliced banana + peanut butter + chia seeds
- Chocolate chips + peanut butter + coconut flakes
- Strawberries + peanut butter + maple syrup
