Almond Flour Waffles with Berries (Printable)
Fluffy almond flour waffles topped with mixed berries and a maple drizzle for a gluten-free breakfast.
# 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:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well blended.
03 - Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Whisk until the batter is smooth and thick with no dry pockets remaining.
04 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Spoon enough batter into the iron to just cover the waffle grid. Close and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
05 - Serve the waffles warm, topped with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The batter comes together in one bowl with zero fuss, which means less cleanup and more time to enjoy your coffee.
- Almond flour gives these waffles a tender crumb and a subtle richness that regular flour simply cannot replicate.
02 -
- Almond flour batter is thicker than traditional waffle batter, so resist the urge to thin it out with extra milk or the waffles will fall apart.
- Opening the waffle iron too early will tear the waffle, so wait until steam slows down significantly before peeking.
03 -
- Separate the eggs and whip the whites to soft peaks before folding them in for waffles that are dramatically fluffier.
- Toasting almond flour in a dry skillet for two minutes before mixing deepens its flavor and makes the whole batch taste more complex.
