These Vegan Gluten Free Sourdough Waffles are tender, melt-in-the-mouth and delicious. You'll never want to eat anything else for breakfast again!
Love the idea of vegan sourdough waffles but can't eat gluten? For you I have these scrumptious vegan and gluten-free sourdough waffles made with a Gluten-Free Sourdough Starter.
There's one caveat with sourdough waffles, as there is with most sourdough baked goods -- you need to give your sourdough batter or dough some time to sit so the good bacteria can go to work. But I actually love that about making sourdough waffles because if I take just five minutes the night before to put the ingredients together in the bowl, I know I can get breakfast on the table in 10 minutes the next morning. And what a breakfast it is!
The ingredients that go into the waffle help feed the good bacteria while the batter stands overnight. There's a little bit of sugar, to get the yeast working, some nondairy milk (I usually use almond although any kind is fine), and flour, of course. For the gf waffles, I used a combination of all purpose gluten free flour and buckwheat flour.
These are so good, you'll probably never want to eat any other kind of waffle again. They are tender, full of amazing flavor, and, with some maple syrup drizzled on top, they'll make you think you are in heaven.
If you're in the process of making a gluten free sourdough starter, or already have one sitting in your refrigerator, what's stopping you? Try these, and come back and tell me all about it. I wanna hear!

Recipe card
Vegan Gluten Free Sourdough Waffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free sourdough starter (unfed or discard starter after the first two days is fine)
- 1 cups gluten free all purpose flour
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 2 cups nondairy milk
- 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup avocado oil or any neutral oil
- 2 tablespoon flax meal
- ½ cup rolled oats (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together the nondairy milk and the vinegar.
- Make the overnight sponge by mixing together the sourdough starter with the flours, sugar and milk-vinegar mixture in a very large bowl. The dough will expand by morning as all those good bacteria and yeast go to work, so make sure you have enough room in the bowl.
- In the morning, just before making your waffles, whisk together the flax meal and 6 tablespoon water to make "flax eggs". Add the baking soda, salt, oil and flax eggs into the overnight sponge and mix into an even batter. Stir in the oats, if using.
- Preheat the waffle maker. Bake waffles according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Serve hot with fruit and maple syrup.

Soooo good!
I am new to gluten free and sourdough. This recipe is a real treat, even the next day out of the toaser! Thank you
Hannah says
These came out SO good! I used brown rice flour instead of all purpose flour since that’s what I feed my starter with and they turned out AMAZING!
Heidi says
This was amazing and we will definitely be repeating! We did take the shortcut (I waited only 20 minutes to cool them instead of overnight) and they had the perfect crisp on the outside, fluffy inside texture.
Robyn White says
Hi I don't have a waffle maker, can I make pancakes with this mixture, thanks?
Vaishali says
Yes, absolutely. Search for my gf pancakes recipe on the blog!
CG says
I know these are supposed to be vegan.. but if I DID add real eggs, what’s the equivalent? I cannot have flax.
Vaishali says
You can leave the flax out!
Heidi says
Two eggs plus one tablespoon water.
Kelly Farrell says
I was thrilled to see your sourdough starter recipe, then went on to look at the sourdough waffle recipe. Has anyone just used an all purpose gluten free flour instead of the buckwheat and or oats? Thanks!
Vaishali says
I have and you can absolutely use just any gf all purpose flour. 🙂
Kate says
Making these this morning! My sponge looks great, and I can’t wait. Can I freeze the leftover waffles?
Brian says
Is the overnight sponge left out on the counter or in the fridge?
Vaishali says
Counter!
Bruce says
Thanks I had the same question. Making these for tomorrow. Can't wait!
Xenia says
These are SOOO good! Very light and fluffy with a crispy exterior. I made mine with blueberries and I would definitely make again 🙂
Vaishali says
So happy you tried them!

Ich liebe alle ihre Rezepte besonders die veganen aber es ist so schade das sie keine Gramm Angaben für die Rezepte machen.

Thank you, Vaishali. This is an awesome waffle recipe. I love waffles because they are the perfect base for delicious toppings. Georgina or Georgie can keep George company. 🙂
