Why These Almond Flour Waffles Are a Must-Try

What makes these waffles truly special is the use of almond flour, which provides a rich, subtle nutty flavor and a fantastic texture that’s naturally gluten-free. Unlike some gluten-free recipes that can be dense or crumbly, these waffles hold together beautifully, offering a soft, airy inside and that desirable crisp exterior. They’re a nutritious alternative to traditional waffles, packing in protein and healthy fats to keep you feeling full and energized.

Gather Your Simple Ingredients

You’ll appreciate how straightforward the ingredient list is for these delicious waffles!

• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup buttermilk
• ¼ cup canola oil

Your Easy Steps to Perfect Gluten-Free Waffles

Follow these straightforward instructions for a stack of golden, delicious waffles:

1. Preheat Waffle Maker: Start by preheating your waffle maker to medium heat according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure these dry ingredients are well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the large eggs, buttermilk, and canola oil until they are fully blended.
4. Mix Batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Whisk everything together until the batter is mostly smooth. A few small lumps are fine; don’t overmix!
5. Cook Waffles: Lightly coat the preheated waffle maker with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each waffle onto the hot plates. Close the lid and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the waffles are beautifully golden brown and cooked through. Re-spray the waffle maker as needed between batches.
6. Serve & Enjoy! Remove the cooked waffles from the maker and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Our Top Tips for Waffle Perfection & Storage

• Texture and Flavor Boost: For an even more textured and nutty flavor in your gluten-free waffles, consider using almond meal instead of finely ground almond flour if you have it.
• Make Ahead & Freeze: These waffles are excellent for meal prepping! Once cooled completely, you can wrap them individually and freeze them for up to 3 months. When you’re ready for a quick breakfast, reheat them directly in a toaster or toaster oven until they’re perfectly crispy again.
