Dairy-Free Waffles are super easy to make. They are made with blueberries and non-dairy milk and are sweetened with maple syrup. Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, they are perfect for all your favorite toppings.
Are you team waffle or team pancake? Personally, for me, it depends on the day. Whichever team you are on, these waffles are sure to delight you. They are the perfect waffles for the whole family to enjoy on a Saturday morning or for Mother's or Father's Day brunch.
However, if you prefer pancakes, you will love my Oat Flour Pancakes and Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes. And if you love blueberries, you should try my Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry Scones and Lemon Blueberry Muffins.

🥘Ingredients and Substitutions
- Flour- I used white whole wheat flour. However, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend will all work for this recipe.
- Dairy-free milk- any non-dairy milk such as oat milk, almond milk, cashew milk or coconut milk will work for these waffles.
- Maple syrup- sweetens the waffle batter. Honey would be a great replacement.
- Blueberries- I recommend fresh whole blueberries. I love blueberries but you can use any fresh berries and add them to the batter.

💭Recipe FAQs
Yes! You can make the batter a day or two ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to make the waffles.
I recommend reheating leftover waffles in the toaster oven for about 2 minutes until crispy. You can also reheat them on a rack in the oven.
If you reheat them in the microwave they will most likely be soggy and soft.
Yes, use your favorite gluten-free flour for gluten-free waffles. I like the Bob's Red Mill and King Arthur Brands.
I used a Belgian waffle iron for this recipe but I also love this mini waffle maker by Dash.
👩🏻🍳Top Tips
- Allow your waffle maker to heat up completely before pouring the batter. Most will have lights that tell you when they are ready.
- Spray cooking spray each time you add batter to the iron so they don't stick.
- For best results, use room-temperature milk and eggs.
- To achieve crispy waffles, make sure you don't stack them on top of each other after cooking. The steam from each waffle will make them soggy.
- Make sure the waffles are completely cool before storing them. A wire rack is great for cooling the waffles.
- I like to store my waffles in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. They will last about 5 days in the fridge and a few months in the freezer.
🧇Serving
I love to serve my blueberry waffles with more fresh blueberries on top and real maple syrup. Peanut butter is also one of my favorite toppings for waffles and pancakes. Sometimes I will even melt frozen blueberries and mix them with syrup to make a delicious and simple blueberry syrup.
There are so many different toppings for waffles, play around and use your favorites!
Serve the waffles as soon as they are done cooking for the best results.
