🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle iron and let it fully heat up. Lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
-
Cinnamon
-
Sweetener
Make sure everything is evenly combined to avoid clumps.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk:
-
Eggs
-
Melted butter
-
Almond milk
-
Vanilla extract
Mix until smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes so the coconut flour absorbs moisture.
Step 5: Add the Cinnamon Swirl (Optional)
Mix the swirl ingredients in a small bowl. Once you pour batter into the waffle iron, drizzle a little swirl mixture on top and lightly swirl with a toothpick.
Step 6: Cook the Waffles
-
Scoop batter into the waffle maker (don’t overfill)
-
Close lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, depending on your machine
-
Waffles should be golden brown and slightly crisp
Avoid opening too early—this helps them hold together better.
Step 7: Serve Warm
Carefully remove waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
