Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out. This will help streamline the cooking process and ensure you don’t miss anything.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack the four eggs and whisk them until they are fully beaten. Add the almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract to the eggs, and mix until all the wet ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or whisk, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle iron requires it, lightly grease the plates with coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- Once the waffle iron is ready, pour an appropriate amount of the batter onto the center of the waffle iron. The amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron, but typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup works well.
- Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary based on your specific waffle iron, so keep an eye on them.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron using a fork or tongs, and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. This will help them stay crispy.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.
- Serve the waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of almond butter. Enjoy your delicious grain-free, paleo-friendly almond flour waffles!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: Measure out your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and make the process smoother.
- Mix Dry Ingredients First: Whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution and avoid lumps in your batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, fold gently until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to fluffier waffles.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the batter. This helps achieve that perfect golden-brown color and crispy texture.
- Grease as Needed: Depending on your waffle iron, you may need to lightly grease the plates with coconut oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on your waffles as they cook, as different waffle irons can vary in cooking time. Aim for 3-5 minutes or until they are crispy and golden.
- Cool on a Wire Rack: After cooking, place your waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them on a plate. This prevents steam from making them soggy.
- Topping Ideas: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of almond butter can take your waffles to the next level.
- Store Leftovers Properly: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. You can reheat them in a toaster for a quick breakfast!
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for an extra flavor kick!
