Tips & Variations

• Try using coconut sugar for a richer flavor and a hint of caramel.
• For crispier waffles, add an extra ½ teaspoon of baking powder.
• Substitute milk with almond or oat milk to keep the recipe dairy-free.
• If your waffles tend to be fragile, carefully remove them with a spatula and allow them to cool slightly for better texture.

Storage

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, toast them lightly in a toaster or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes to restore crispness.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of flour instead of almond flour?

This recipe specifically relies on almond flour for its texture and flavor. Using other flours may alter the result and might require adjustments to the moisture and leavening agents.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

It’s best to cook the waffles immediately after mixing the batter for optimal texture. However, you can refrigerate the batter for up to 24 hours; just give it a gentle stir before cooking.
