These fluffy low histamine, dairy-free waffles bring everything to the table that your favorite frozen ones do, but with much more nutritional value. I highly recommend pairing them with a pat of tolerated butter, a smear of homemade jam, and a drizzle of maple syrup on each side.

About this recipe
Simple Recipe. Much like my fluffy pancakes and chestnut crepes, this is not a very fussy batter, and you just need to make it runny enough to scoop into your hot waffle maker.
Gluten-Free Flours. Since many people don't like using pre-made gluten-free flour blends, I've included specific flours I'd recommend you use for great flavor and texture. If you want to use your own gf flour blend, simply substitute the sorghum flour, sweet rice flour, and psyllium husk for 2 cups of gf flour (make sure it include a binder).
Childhood Memories. Waffles and burnt coffee are the two smells that always remind me of visiting my grandpa in Louisiana and having the smell of breakfast wake us up. Luckily if I have eggs, which I can now tolerate, I can also have a lot more carb-heavy foods with my breakfast, like these low histamine waffles, along with my favorite low histamine coffee.
Ingredients
Sorghum Flour: this is often said to be the best substitute for white flour, as it can be used 1-to-1 in almost any recipe. The flavor is mild and sort of earthy, but doesn't taste as sweet to me as popped sorghum, one of my favorite low histamine snacks.
Sweet Rice Flour: this is NOT the same as white rice flour, and it's probably one of the most unique gluten-free flours out there. It's best-known as the basis for mochi, the sweet but sticky East Asian dessert that's filled with red bean paste or ice cream, because it creates a very glutinous dough when mixed with water.
Psyllium Husk Powder: this specifically replaces gluten in the gluten-free flour, but it does absorb very large amounts of liquid quickly, so it means you need to add the liquids and blend them fast.
Monk Fruit Powder: when you’re trying to eat low-sugar, monk fruit extract will be one of your best friends. It packs a sweetness level approximately 200x that of table sugar, so it's used sparingly, but it completely replaces these to make them sugar-free waffles, as well!
How to make low histamine waffles: step-by-step instructions
Step 1. In a large bowl, add & whip the eggs, monk fruit, and the coconut oil together for about 1 minute.
Step 2. Measure out the sorghum flour, sweet rice flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt into a separate small bowl and mix together until well-combined. You could use a set of bowls or even a Vitamix or other high-powered blender for this entire recipe, though you'll still need some separate bowls.
Step 3. Add your milk of choice into the egg mixture and blend until smooth.
Step 4. Spoon by spoon, add your dry ingredients to the egg mixture until it's all well-combined. Then locate your waffle maker, clean it, and plug it in to preheat.
Step 5. Make sure you have some tolerated oil spray on hand for each batch, then spray both sides of your waffle machine. Wait 1 minute, then using a ladle, scoop roughly ⅓ Cup of the batter into each side on the bottom of your preheated & greased waffle machine.
Step 6. Cook your waffles according to the directions of the waffle maker, or until they are golden brown (generally about 3-5 minutes depending on temperature and type). Top with butter or nut butter of choice, maple syrup, homemade jam, or your even candied nuts, and enjoy! Freeze leftovers with layers of wax paper between waffles, in an air-tight container.
Recipe notes & tips
Swapping Flours: you can substitute most any other medium-weight flour for the sorghum flour, such as oat, white rice, brown rice, or amaranth flour. For the sweet rice flour you can substitute any other tolerated starch, such as arrowroot or tapioca.
Psyllium Husk: this is the binder for your dairy-free waffles, so don't leave this out! You can replace it with xanthan gum, if tolerated, but it's important to combine this well with your dry ingredients before adding in the wet ingredients, as it absorbs liquids incredibly quickly.
Protein Powder: like with my pancakes, you can add up to 2 Tablespoons of protein powder in this batter, adding up to 2 additional Tablespoons of milk to thin it out, if needed.
Freezing the Waffles: these dairy-free waffles can easily be frozen and reheated in the toaster oven on 400°F/205°C for 4 minutes, and they're good as new. You can also microwave them on 30% power for 3 minutes to defrost, and then top with homemade jam.
