Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ensures that the waffles cook evenly and become crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of coconut flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack 3 eggs and whisk them until they are fully beaten. Add 1/4 cup of almond milk and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the eggs, and mix until combined.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles dense.
- Next, add 2 tbsp of melted coconut oil to the batter and mix until the oil is fully incorporated.
- Once the waffle iron is preheated, lightly grease it with a little coconut oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, making sure not to overfill it. The amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron, but typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter should suffice.
- Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron using a fork or tongs. Place them on a wire rack to cool slightly, which helps maintain their crispiness.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.
- Serve the Paleo waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup (if desired), or nut butter. Enjoy your delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free waffles!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always preheat your waffle iron completely to ensure even cooking and that perfect crispy exterior.
- Don't Overmix: Gently combine wet and dry ingredients to keep your waffles light and fluffy. Overmixing can lead to dense, tough waffles.
- Coconut Oil Magic: Use melted coconut oil for added flavor and that beautiful golden-brown color.
- Portion Control: Use a measuring cup to pour batter consistently and avoid overflow in your waffle iron.
- Cooling Trick: Let waffles rest on a wire rack for a few minutes after cooking to maintain maximum crispiness.
- Storage Hack: These waffles freeze beautifully! Cool completely, then store in a freezer bag and reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While delicious plain, try topping with fresh berries, almond butter, or a drizzle of pure maple syrup for extra indulgence.
