OMG, I can't believe it. It is so easy. 1 cup mix to 1 cup water. Mix. That's it. No whipping egg whites in a separate bowl to fold in later. In fact, no eggs at all. No oil. Just mix and water. Easily scalable (1/2 cup each works great for a single waffle). And the waffles are fantastic. Admittedly, I have no idea what the original (non gluten-free) tastes like, as I hadn't heard of this brand before. And "malted" may be a bit of an exaggeration, versus "vanilla." All I can do is compare it to all the other gluten-free waffle mixes I've tried over the last 20 years. I took a chance, and these taste great. They actually have a flavor, not just "rice," and even smell good cooking. Nice texture. Not grainy; smooth batter. The waffles even have "chew"! (and if you eat gluten-free, you'll know what I mean and really appreciate that!) So easy to make, and I can't stop making them. I've been known to make a single waffle to put some peanut butter on for a late night snack. Definitely going to reorder.

Delicious, egg free waffle that is gluten free, to boot. These waffles will make better bread substitutes than any gluten free bread that I've tasted. So glad I tried this mix.

Would highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to eat gluten free. I used the regular (wheat) Carbon's Golden Malted waffle mix before, so I didn't hesitate to try this even though it was a three-pack. Tastes great and is super easy - equal amounts of mix and water. Worked great for waffles, the only difference being they needed to cook longer than regular ones in order to be crisp. I did add a splash of extra water to thin the batter down a bit more for pancakes, so they would cook more evenly. Highly recommended!

My son and wife are GF, so we try to find GF things that taste good. These waffles are so good that my daughter and I also eat them so there is only one mix to mess with for the 4 of us. These are as good as any regular waffle mix I've ever had, restaurants included! It takes about 1-1/4 cups of batter for a large Belgian waffle in the large KitchenAid waffle maker cooked for about 5-1/2 minutes. Slightly crisp on the outside but still moist and tasty on the inside. I highly recommend this mix!!

My husband and I have been eating the regular Carbon's for a while now and one of our favorite dinners is when we have 'Waffle Night'. When I first found out I was gluten intolerant I continued to make the good stuff for my husband and purchased what was supposed to be 'the best' gluten free frozen waffle. Oh what a disappointment!! Hard and tough and add the syrup and they turn into a pile of mush. Tonight I make these. Ohmygosh I was in heaven!! They are crispy on the outside and airy and delicious on the inside. I can certainly live with these. They are almost as good as the regular, at least I thought so.

Since being diagnosed celiac over 7 years ago I have tried many brands of gluten free pancake mix; each time I have high hopes, but have been disappointed. Someone gifted this pancake mix to me and it took me over 3 months to try it because of past experience. Just mixing the batter together I saw a difference and then when I had the first bite it was LOVE! The texture was fluffy, moist and smooth. I could have eaten so many more, but had to stop myself to keep from getting a stomachache later. Thank you!!

Carbons non gluten free is fluffier and maltier tasting. However for gluten free this is better than most non gluten free mixes out there. There is a nice light crunch to the waffles that you don't get with non gluten free. I think it is due to the rice flour.

I have been gluten free for a little over a year and this mix is AMAZING! Love the texture, love the way it cooks on the waffle iron. It is a bit dry after a few days in the fridge but nothing a bit of syrup can’t make up for or microwaving it in a damp napkin. It doesn’t fall apart, and it is very moist when first cooked. Haven’t made a pancake out of it, but I absolutely love the waffle. It has a beautiful crisp when placed in the toaster and doesn’t burn easily like other mixed. Just love it!

If this came in flavors like the others, I would give it higher than a 5 ;)

Only waffle and pancake mix I will use now! I add one egg, one teaspoon of vanilla, and a dollup of brown sugar to the mix, and you would never ever know they are gluten free. Just a fancier pancake than plain, but his mix tastes best any way it is prepared. I also use it for sweet battering onion rings and anything else that needs a breaded batter. So delicious! -Sandra M.
