Almond Flour Waffles With Berries (Printable Version)
Fluffy almond flour waffles with mixed berries and maple syrup — gluten-free, easy breakfast or brunch.
# What You Need:
→ Waffle Batter
01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
04 - 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
05 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Topping
09 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
10 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
11 - Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the almond milk, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms with no lumps.
05 - Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour in enough batter to cover the surface (about 1/2 cup per waffle, depending on your waffle maker), then close and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
06 - Carefully remove each cooked waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
07 - Serve hot, topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup or a light dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These waffles crisp up on the outside while staying incredibly tender inside, something most gluten-free batters struggle to achieve.
- The almond flour gives them a subtle sweetness and richness that makes you forget they are low carb entirely.
02 -
- Almond flour batter is thicker than regular waffle batter and that is completely normal, so resist the urge to add more liquid.
- Opening the waffle iron too early will tear the waffle in half, so wait until steam slows before checking.
03 -
- Let the batter rest for five minutes before cooking so the almond flour can absorb the liquid and the texture improves noticeably.
- Every waffle iron runs differently, so use your first waffle as a test batch to dial in the perfect timing.
