My 5 year old son has been dying to have his first ever gluten free waffle cone. This morning he told me he had a dream about eating waffle cones with homemade cherry chip ice cream. Today his dream came true! These homemade waffle cones are not only gluten free, but they are grain free, dairy free and sweetened with a hint of maple syrup. Be sure to use finely ground blanched almond flour for the perfect texture!

Unfortunately, I have not found gluten free waffle cones at the store, or even online. Gluten free sugar cones are pretty scarce during the summer months. What is a gal to do? Well, I make my own! I went hunting on Foodgawker to find a good recipe and came across Roostblog’s Almond Flour Waffle Cones Recipe. I slightly modified this to tailor it to my own palate. I upped the sweetener, added more vanilla and finally…my secret ingredient, see below.

You Will Need:

blanched almond flour
eggs
coconut sugar
maple syrup
vanilla extract
almond extract
coconut oil spray
waffle cone maker w/cone included for shaping
silicone spatula for removing waffles

The first thing I did was ordered a waffle cone maker; Igot it in two days, thanks to Amazon Prime! I am very pleased at how easy it is to make these gluten free waffle cones.

The first thing I did was heat up my waffle cone maker to setting number 3 and leave the lid closed. Next, in a mixing bowl, I added the almond flour, eggs, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and almond extract. Whisk well.

Then, spray or brush the waffle maker with oil. I like using a coconut oil spray. This must be done between each waffle so that they are crispy and hard. Then pour 2 Tablespoons of batter in the center of the waffle cone maker and close the lid. Let it heat for 2 minutes exactly!

When you remove the lid, it will have golden brown hues throughout. Lift waffle gently with a spatula and wrap around the cone. Hold the opening of the waffle down with a spatula for about 30 seconds. Then let it cool on a cooling rack. It should be hard and crispy once cooled. Repeat with remaining batter.

I was done with this recipe in less than 20 minutes! Next time I will double or triple the batch and dip these in melted dairy free chocolate chips! These will go perfect with my homemade No-Churn Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream! Yum!

Instructions

Heat waffle cone maker to number 3. Leave lid closed while it is heating.
Add eggs first to blender, follow with remaining ingredients and blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.
Open waffle cone maker, spray lightly with coconut oil or any other light flavored vegetable oil and pour 2 Tablespoons of batter into the center of the waffle iron and close lid. Bake for 2 minutes.
Using a rubber spatula, remove waffle and wrap around plastic cone to shape into a cone. Waffles harden fast so do this step quickly and use a towel to help wrap cone if waffle is too hot to handle. Allow it to set around cone for 1 1/2 minutes, remove cone and set aside on a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for remaining batter. Store waffles in an airtight container or sealed ziplock bag.
