Gluten Free Waffles from GF Bisquick

I finally branched out and made something other than pancakes with the Gluten Free Bisquick mix and it was delicious!  Actually, I’ve made these 3 or 4 times.  Yum!
My favorite thing to do when I make waffles or my family is to have tons of add in options and they each get to pick what they want for each waffle.  Here are some ideas:  blueberries, heath toffee chips, chocolate chips, walnuts, raisins, coconut, strawberries, etc.  My favorites are blueberry and a mix with toffee, chocolate chips, and coconut. 
I also love to experiment with different syrups/toppings.  Some ideas:  maple syrup, jam, yogurt, a cream cheese/powdered sugar glaze, etc.

Pros: 

• Delicious
  
• Tastes like normal waffles
  
• Easy to make

Cons:

• Doesn’t make very many. 

Just be aware that one batch of waffles will only make 3 sets of waffles (as in 12 individual waffles if you pulled them apart).  I tend to eat 2 sets at a time and that only leaves one for leftover (I’m big on leftovers) and if I was feeding someone else who was gluten free I’d need to double it.  Not a huge deal, but be aware.  The pancake recipe feeds a lot more (which makes sense). 
Give these a try if you haven’t already. 

Bisquick Gluten Free- Review and Giveaway!- CLOSED

Through MyBlogSpark, Bisquick has given me the opportunity to do a review and giveaway on a Bisquick Gluten Free Prize Pack!  I received a prize pack myself a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed it.

As I've stated before, I love Bisquick Gluten Free!  I've still only made the pancakes out of it (I'm so in love with them I haven't felt a need to branch out yet), but I've read reviews on the other recipes you can make from the mix and they all sound wonderful.  I still can't get over how few other ingredients need to be added to the baking mix.  This is seriously a product that should be a staple in every gluten free house.   

They are so fluffy!  I put some of my mom's amazing buttermilk syrup on these ones.  Heaven!

Product Review: Gluten Free Bisquick

General Mills now makes Gluten Free Bisquick.  I figured it would taste good because General Mills wasn't about to put their name on something that wasn't (they do Betty Crocker), so I was excited to try it.  I was right; it is delicious!

I just made regular ol' pancakes with my mix (twice) because I love pancakes, but there is a ton of delicious options you can make with this mix.  I am dying to make this Gluten Free Impossibly Easy French Apple Pie.  Doesn't it sound amazing?!  And it only takes 1/2 a cup of mix (and 1/3 for the streusel topping)!  I believe there are just over 3 1/2 cups of mix in each box.  Each time I make pancakes (about 10) it uses 1 cup, so I could do pancakes 3 times plus the Apple Pie all with the one box.  That's a great value considering how much you can make, the price, and how versatile the mix is!

Speaking of value, let's talk cost.  My mom spotted the Bisquick Gluten Free mix first at Kohler's in Highland.  It was $2.50!!!  I really hope it stays that price there, so that every time I visit my parents I can stock up.  At Smith's Marketplace in Bountiful it was closer to $5 and my sister saw it for around $5 at a Fresh Market in Provo.  Walmart in Cedar Hills had it for around $4 (a bit less, I think).  So basically, look around.  Check stores you're at and compare prices.  Also, each store is different as far as where you can locate the item.  I've seen it in special gluten free sections and I've also seen it by the regular Bisquick.  Keep your eyes peeled.  This is definitely a gluten free product you'll always want to have on hand.

Let me know where you find your Bisquick Gluten Free mix and what it cost!  

Also, if you've tried any other recipe besides pancakes with the Bisquick Gluten Free mix, how did it turn out?
