Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Mix well until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense waffles.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly to the edges. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the gluten-free almond flour waffles warm, topped with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful finish.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- If you prefer a sweeter waffle, you can increase the maple syrup to 3 tablespoons.
- These waffles freeze well. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster or toaster oven until warmed through.
