How To Make Almond Flour Waffles

For this recipe, you will need almond flour, coconut sugar, salt, baking soda, almond milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. 

Start by plugging in your waffle maker to heat while preparing the batter. 

Then, mix the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl. Set the bowl aside and mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Slowly add the egg and milk mixture into the flour until combined. 

Grease the waffle maker with coconut oil and pour 1/2 cup of the batter into the waffle maker. Spread the batter across the maker and close the lid. 

Cook until the almond waffles are golden brown and crisp. Continue until the batter is gone and all the waffles are cooked. Keep the waffles in a warming oven or toaster oven to keep warm. 

Top with butter, peanut butter, almond butter, maple syrup, fresh berries or coconut whipped cream! Store leftover waffles in an airtight container and store in the fridge. 

Substitues & Variations 

• Coconut Sugar: You may use regular sugar or your favorite keto sweetener to make these waffles sugar-free. 
• Almond Milk: I use unsweetened almond milk, but coconut milk, whole milk or dairy-free milk alternative. 
• Eggs: This recipe needs eggs to bind the ingredients together. You may use egg whites to make these lower in fat. If you need an vegan egg replacement, I suggest using Just Eggs. 
• Coconut Oil: You may use butter, avocado oil, or your favorite oil (or cooking spray) to grease the waffle maker. 
• Almond Flour: I suggest using fine blanched almond flour to make these waffles perfect and crisp. Almond meal may be used, but will not result in a well baked waffle. 
• Chocolate Chip Waffles: Add 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips to the batter to make chocolate chip waffles. 
• Blueberry Waffles: Add a cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter to make delicious blueberry waffles. 

FAQ

Can I substitute almond flour with other flours?

Almond flour has a unique texture and flavor, so substituting it directly with other flours may not yield the same results. However, you can experiment with other gluten-free flours like oat flour, tapioca flour, or a gluten-free flour blend, but you may need to adjust the recipe.

Are almond flour waffles keto-friendly?

Yes, almond flour waffles are often considered keto-friendly because almond flour is low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats. Just be mindful of the other ingredients you add to the waffle batter to ensure they align with your keto diet.

Can I make almond flour waffles dairy-free?

Yes, you can make almond flour waffles dairy-free by using dairy-free milk (such as almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk) and substituting butter with a dairy-free alternative like coconut oil or vegan butter.

Can I freeze almond flour waffles?

Yes, you can freeze almond flour waffles for later use. Allow them to cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper between each waffle to prevent sticking. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and they can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, you can use a toaster, oven, or microwave.

How can I add variety to my almond flour waffles?

You can add variety to your almond flour waffles by incorporating different flavors and toppings. Consider adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, or even cocoa powder to the batter for flavor variation. Top your waffles with fresh berries, nuts, whipped cream, or sugar-free syrup for a delightful twist.

Are almond flour waffles suitable for a paleo diet?
