Light, fluffy almond flour waffles paired with fresh berries for a quick gluten-free breakfast or brunch.
# What You'll Need:
→ Waffle Batter
01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
04 - 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ For Serving
09 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
10 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
11 - Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions until fully heated.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
03 - Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Whisk until the batter is smooth, thick, and free of lumps.
04 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Spoon enough batter onto the center to just cover the waffle grid, spreading gently if needed.
05 - Close the waffle iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
06 - Serve the waffles warm, topped with fresh mixed berries, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The batter comes together in one bowl with no fancy techniques required.
- These waffles crisp up on the outside while staying tender inside, which is rare for gluten free baking.
- Berries and maple syrup make everything taste like a weekend, even on a Tuesday.
02 -
- Almond flour batter is thicker than regular waffle batter, so do not panic when it does not pour like you expect.
- Undercooking is the most common mistake here, so wait until the steam slows down before opening the iron.
03 -
- Do not open the waffle iron too early because these need a solid crust before they release cleanly.
- A light coating of oil on the iron between each waffle keeps nothing sticking and builds up that golden color.
