Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or additional coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Whisk these wet ingredients until thoroughly incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient bowl and mix gently with a spatula until a smooth batter forms. Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes to let the coconut flour absorb moisture.
- Scoop approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the iron and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a heat-resistant spatula and place on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings such as fresh berries, additional maple syrup, whipped cream, or chopped nuts.
- Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
Tips
- Batter Consistency is Key: Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes after mixing to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture, ensuring a perfect texture.
- Waffle Iron Wisdom: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it to prevent sticking and achieve that crispy golden exterior.
- Don't Overmix: Gently combine wet and dry ingredients to keep the waffles light and fluffy. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
- Portion Control: Use a 1/3 to 1/2 cup measure for consistent waffle sizes and even cooking.
- Crispy Perfection: Cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serving Suggestions: Elevate your waffles with toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
- Meal Prep Hack: These waffles freeze beautifully! Store in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast option.
