These mango waffles are packed with the summery flavor of mangoes and they are entirely gluten-free. Four kinds of flour make these waffles a nutritious and delicious breakfast.
Here's a decadent weekend-morning recipe that will not hug your waistline for eternity: gluten-free Mango Waffles.
When I make gluten-free baked goods, I stay away from those readymade flour mixes that tend to make the end product gummy. Mixes, in my opinion, also have a rather strong flavor that doesn't always work with baked goods and they tend to be, like many gluten-free foods, pretty starchy.
For my healthy vegan gluten-free waffles, I use four kinds of flour: sorghum, millet, brown rice, and cornmeal. You can use all four or even a couple, although if you did that go with the sorghum and millet rather than the brown rice and cornmeal.
These waffles, as you surely gathered from the title, also contain the goodness of mangoes: the delicious fruit that makes summers sunnier. If you've read this blog before, you know I love those mangoes and have tried them in just about everything: Mango Cupcakes, Mango Bread Vegan Mango Pie, Vegan Mango Muffins, Mango Halwa, Vegan Mango Cheesecake...you name it, I've made it and always with delicious results because that's just how it is with mango: you can't go wrong.
For this recipe I used canned mango puree that I buy at the Indian store. You can puree fresh mangoes, if you'd rather; I just love the taste of the Indian Alphonso mango which, in my opinion, is the best mango ever. I can only find the canned version here in the United States, but I'm not complaining-it works!
Here's the recipe. Enjoy, all!

Is that CANNED mango puree from Indian grocery store? Or pureed fresh mangoes? Which is better for this recipe?
Vaishali Honawar says
Canned puree. You can puree fresh mangoes and it would work just fine.
Clarice says
Thanks. I want to use regular all-purpose flour for this recipe. Which of the flours should I omit in this recipe? Is the flax meal related to gluten-free purpose?
Vaishali Honawar says
You can replace all of the gluten-free flours with all purpose-- use the same amounts. I would recommend keeping the cornmeal because it adds great texture. And the flaxmeal helps the waffles bind, although in this case the mango puree would also act as a binder, so you can leave it out. Add a little moisture-- like almond milk or soy milk or water-- if the batter is too dry.

mango waffles, thats new! I like all things mango - I've seen some really good waffle recipes - I think its time to invest in a waffle iron.
Richa says
The waffles look fantastic! the problem with some of the mixes apart from all the gum and starch, is the chickpea flour in them. I got a bag once , made cookies and threw them all out:)
Chitz says
Wow, makes me drool.. A healthy way to enjoy the otherwise guilt loaded waffles ! That too in mango flavor 🙂

Mihl says
What a great coincidence! I also just made gluten-free waffles for my blog.
I always see the canned mango puree at the Indian store and never know what to do with it. Now I have a lot o great inspiration.

What a beautiful idea! Mango waffles! I love waffles ... also love the way you have used so many kinds of flours. Wish I had a waffle maker at home.
Vaishali Honawar says
Manasi, I buy it from Whole Foods (Arrowhead Mills) and sometimes the Indian store (bajra flour). You could use whole-wheat too, if you're not fussy about the gluten. Oat, barley, soy, and singoda flour would work too.
