This recipe is a snap!

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (114g) almond flour

1 cup (134g) tapioca flour (can use arrowroot starch/flour)

1/2 cup (45g) coconut flour

1 TBS (14g) coconut sugar

1TBS (14g) baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup (98g) avocado oil

1 1/2 cup (325g) almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract (if making sweet waffles)

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized bowl, mix the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  2. In a liquid measuring cup, measure the oil, then the milk. You should end up with 2 cups of liquid. Crack the two eggs into the measuring cup. Add vanilla if making sweet waffles. Stir gently; you are just trying to get the egg yolks to break open so it is easier to mix the batter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine. Your batter should be the consistency of cake mix: thick but pourable. It should not be runny and drippy such that it doesn’t hold together when cooking – add a little more almond flour, a TBS at a time. It also shouldn’t be so thick that it is difficult to pour – thin it down with more almond milk. Set the batter aside.
  4. Place a long piece of parchment paper on your work surface and plug in your waffle iron to preheat. I save this step until after the batter is prepared to give the batter a chance to set up and the flours to hydrate a bit.
  5. When your waffle iron is ready, pour batter from the bowl into the liquid measuring cup so it is easier to pour into the waffle maker. Do not overfill the wells (see photos above in the post for guidance).
  6. Most waffle irons will not require you to spray them with oil first, especially with the fat content of this recipe. I suggest testing your waffle iron with a small batch first, however, to ensure you do not need to spray the waffle maker.
  7. Follow your waffle maker’s instructions for cooking. Also pay attention to the steam that comes as the waffles cook. The steam will ramp up and then slow down. As the steam really starts to slow down but before it stops is the sweet spot when your waffles should be done.
  8. If freezing, lay the waffles on a cooling rack and let completely cool prior to storing. Reheat in the toaster or toaster oven.
