👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle iron and let it fully heat up. This is key for achieving crispy waffles.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Baking powder
-
Erythritol (if using)
-
Salt
Whisk until evenly combined.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
-
Eggs
-
Melted butter
-
Almond milk
-
Vanilla extract
Mix until smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 4: Combine the Batter
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Tip: Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes so the coconut flour absorbs moisture—this improves texture.
Step 5: Cook the Waffles
-
Lightly grease your waffle maker
-
Pour batter into the center (don’t overfill)
-
Cook for 3–5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy
Important: Avoid opening too early—this can break the waffle.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Remove carefully and serve immediately for best crispiness.
