Description
Crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, these almond flour waffles are the ultimate gluten-free breakfast treat. Made with pantry staples like almond flour, eggs, and a touch of vanilla, they’re naturally low-carb, dairy-optional, and endlessly customizable. Perfect for cozy weekends or quick weekday mornings.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups super-fine almond flour – Use blanched almond flour for a light, crisp texture (not almond meal).
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder – Helps the waffles puff and stay airy.
¼ teaspoon salt – Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
2 large eggs – Room temperature for smoother blending.
¾ cup milk – Whole milk for richness or almond/coconut milk for dairy-free.
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter – Adds crispness and flavor.
1 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup (optional) – For gentle sweetness and golden color.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds warmth and aroma.
Instructions
Preheat the waffle iron. Make sure it’s fully hot before you start cooking; almond flour waffles crisp best on a hot surface.
Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Combine wet ingredients. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted oil or butter, vanilla, and sugar (if using).
Mix batter. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable; add a splash of milk if needed.
Cook. Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour about ¼ to ⅓ cup batter per waffle. Cook for 4–5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Keep warm. Place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a 200°F (93°C) oven while finishing the rest.
Serve and enjoy. Top with maple syrup, fruit, or yogurt, and enjoy warm!
Notes
Storage: Store leftover waffles in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or 350°F oven until crisp.
Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut oil and non-dairy milk.
Keto-Friendly: Skip the sugar or use a keto-friendly sweetener.
No Waffle Maker? Cook the batter like pancakes in a lightly greased skillet.
