With having a gluten free blog, I get a lot of requests for recipe substitutions, one of them being nuts! Many of my recipes use almond flour so I wanted to create a delicious waffle that is similar to my Best Gluten Free Waffle Recipe that is completely NUT-FREE. Yes, this one is for you! This Gluten Free Cornbread Waffle recipe has no nuts, gluten, soy or dairy!
Also, I have made this with non-dairy milk and even water! Both end in fabulous results! Of course, if you CAN have dairy, feel free to substitute the avocado oil for butter.
As you can see below, this is served with a delicious blueberry compote. It tastes so good over these crispy waffles! The compote is very easy to make! I just toss all ingredients on the pot, stir, and let magic happen! It is that simple!
My kids are huge fans of waffles! They consider it a really special treat to have waffles for breakfast! I try to make these on Sundays as a special treat, but sometimes, I make them during the week because they are so fast and easy to make! I have several other waffle recipes on my blog, they are Gluten Free Chocolate Waffles, Best Gluten Free Waffles and Paleo Waffles with Cassava Flour.
Now that fall is here, these Crispy Gluten Free Cornbread Waffles really hit the spot! They are pure comfort food! If you are a fan of Johnny Cakes and Cornbread, then you will LOVE these!
My Grandmother used to make Johnny Cakes for breakfast and the smell of these cornbread waffles bring back warm childhood memories! She would get the edges nice and crispy and we would have them with maple syrup and a fried egg on top!

Now I would much rather make waffles because they are easier to make! I just let the waffle iron do all the cooking for me while I make the blueberry compote! You know what I mean? Get kids fed, put away dishes, this and that and the list goes on…
I do love Johnny Cakes,..and you can surely make them with this batter, I just don’t like spending a lot of time at the stove flipping pancakes, so I much prefer to make waffles!
On a healthier note, I am using this eco-friendly Ceramic Waffle Iron free of PTFE and PFOA. These are chemicals present in Teflon products that can stay in the environment and human body for long periods of time.
Studies in lab animals have found exposure to PFOA increases the risk of certain tumors of the liver, testicles, mammary glands (breasts), and pancreas in these animals. –Cancer.org
As a Mother of 2 young children, I try to reduce toxic exposure in my home. If I purchase something non-stick, I prefer to use a ceramic surface free of PTFE (Teflon) and PFOA.
If you are on the market for a ceramic waffle iron, these are great choices:
- Eco-friendly heart shaped waffle maker (Use this for heart shaped waffles)
- Eco Belgian Waffle Maker (Great for no flipping method)
- Ceramic Flip Waffle Maker (This is one of my favorites for Belgian waffles!)
For this recipe, I am using Organic Gluten Free Fine Ground Cornmeal and an Organic Gluten Free All Purpose Flour. This was my first time using this organic gluten free blend and it turned out to have a great flavor!
In conclusion, these Crispy Gluten Free Cornbread Waffles with blueberry compote will make a very special breakfast and super happy tummies! They are easy and quick to make and perfect for a special Sunday brunch! Enjoy!
