Equipment

  • 1 Waffle Iron
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional Toppings: maple syrup whipped cream, fresh berries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Waffle Iron: Plug in your waffle iron and allow it to heat fully according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
    A properly preheated iron ensures even cooking and a crisp exterior while keeping the interior soft and fluffy.
  • Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, add coconut flour, unsweetened almond milk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract.
    Use a whisk to blend all ingredients thoroughly, creating a smooth, lump-free batter.
    Coconut flour absorbs liquids quickly, so ensure the batter is well combined.
  • Adjust Consistency: Check the batter consistency; it should be thick but spoonable.
    If too thick, add a tablespoon of almond milk at a time.
    A slightly thicker batter will hold its shape in the waffle iron without spilling over.
  • Spoon Batter Into Iron: Once preheated, spoon approximately 1/3 cup of batter (or adjust depending on the size of your waffle iron) onto the center of each waffle section.
    Use a spatula to spread gently if needed, ensuring even coverage.
  • Cook the Waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook for 4–7 minutes, depending on your iron and preferred crispiness.
    Check the waffles periodically; golden brown edges and firm texture indicate they are done.
  • Remove Carefully: Open the waffle iron and use a spatula to lift the waffles gently.
    Avoid scraping the non-stick surface to prevent damage.
    Place cooked waffles on a plate and keep warm while cooking remaining batter.
  • Serve and Garnish: Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
    Optional toppings like cacao powder or mixed fruit can be folded into the batter before cooking for variety.
    Enjoy warm, fluffy, and naturally gluten-free waffles!

Notes

  • Mix Thoroughly: Coconut flour absorbs liquids quickly, so whisk well to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth, consistent batter.
  • Adjust Liquid if Needed: Depending on egg size or almond milk brand, you may need a splash more milk to reach the right consistency.
  • Cooking Time Varies: Waffle irons differ; cook until edges are golden brown and waffles feel firm to the touch.
  • Add-Ins: Fold in 2 tablespoons of cacao powder for chocolate waffles or 1/4 cup fresh berries for fruity waffles.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve immediately for best texture; waffles can be kept warm in a low oven but are best fresh.
