Almond Flour Waffles With Berries (Printable)
Light, fluffy almond flour waffles topped with fresh mixed berries and maple for a gluten-free brunch.
# What You Need:
→ Waffle Batter
01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
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
→ Toppings
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 It:
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 combined.
03 - Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Whisk until the batter is smooth and thick with no dry spots remaining.
04 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Spoon enough batter onto the iron to just cover the waffle grid. Close and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the 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 Suggestions:
01 -
- These waffles crisp up on the outside while staying tender inside, which is notoriously hard to achieve with gluten-free batters.
- The almond flour gives them a subtle nuttiness that makes regular waffles taste flat by comparison.
02 -
- The batter will be much thicker than traditional waffle batter and that is exactly right, so resist the urge to thin it out with extra liquid.
- Every waffle iron cooks differently, so test one waffle first and adjust your timing before committing the whole batch.
03 -
- Toast the almond flour in a dry skillet for three minutes before mixing to deepen the nutty flavor immensely.
- Separate the eggs and fold in stiffly beaten whites at the end for the lightest, most airy waffles you have ever tasted.
