Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Prepare a single-serve waffle iron or small waffle maker by plugging it in and allowing it to preheat.
- In a small mixing bowl, crack the large egg and whisk it until well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Add the melted coconut oil to the beaten egg and mix thoroughly to combine.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract into the wet ingredients, stirring to distribute evenly.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt. Mix these dry ingredients well to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to create a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to traditional waffle batter - slightly thick but pourable.
- Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with a small amount of coconut oil or use a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the center of the waffle iron, using just enough to cover the cooking surface without overflowing.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a silicone or wooden spatula to prevent scratching the waffle iron's surface.
- Transfer the waffle to a plate and serve immediately. Optional: Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture in your waffles.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Don’t skip preheating your waffle iron! This step is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients Separately: To avoid clumps and ensure an even batter, mix your dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another before combining them.
- Watch the Cooking Time: Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron. Keep an eye on your waffle and remove it once it’s golden brown for the best texture.
- Experiment with Toppings: While these waffles are delicious on their own, try topping them with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra burst of flavor.
- Store Leftovers Properly: If you have any leftover waffles, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the toaster for a quick breakfast!
