Gluten Free Stroopwafels

Gluten Free Stroopwafels

Stroopwafels are a Dutch waffle cookie with a caramel filling. They’re not naturally gluten free, but there are now quite a few gluten and dairy free varieties you can buy, which we’ll link below. I personally think that these are just as good, especially when heated over a hot cup of coffee so the caramel is melty and the cookie is soft.

If you’d like to try your hand at making stroopwafels yourself, we’ve found tons of gluten free, dairy free, and vegan recipes, which you’ll find in our stroopwafel recipes article.

Stroopwafels are made of a thick, yeasted dough that’s cooked in a waffle iron, cut to size, then separated into a top and bottom layer. The layers are sandwiched back together with a syrup-y filling that’s often flavored with cinnamon. Some modern stroopwafel companies market them as sports snacks, because they provide easily digestible carbs for quick energy.

Buy Gluten Free Stroopwafels

Most stroopwafels, including gluten free versions, contain dairy products and eggs. We’ll specify which are dairy free in the list below. Unfortunately, there aren’t currently any vegan and gluten free stroopwafel options on the market. For now, gf vegans will have to stick to making stroopwafels at home.
