Description
These golden-brown waffles offer a delightful crisp exterior and a tender, moist interior. Crafted with almond flour, they present a subtly nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of fresh berries and a warm drizzle of maple syrup, creating a satisfying breakfast or brunch. Prepared in a waffle iron, they are a comforting and wholesome option.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour, blanched
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy milk)
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or coconut oil, plus more for greasing
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or preferred sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries) for serving
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron plates if they are not non-stick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter or coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are acceptable.
- Pour or scoop about ½ cup of batter (or the amount recommended by your waffle iron) onto the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a wire rack to prevent it from becoming soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the warm waffles immediately, topped with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to tougher waffles.
Adjust the amount of sweetener in the batter to suit your preference.
For extra crispness, place cooked waffles directly on a wire rack in a warm oven (around 200°F / 95°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
