1.5 cups almond flour Shop
0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend Shop
1 tsp gluten-free baking powder Shop
0.5 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1.25 cups milk
2 tbsp melted unsalted butter or neutral oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, for sweetness) Shop

Instructions

1 Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, gluten-free baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
2 In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Then, incorporate the milk, melted butter or oil, pure vanilla extract, and optional granulated sugar. Stir until all the wet ingredients are smoothly blended together, creating a fragrant liquid base.
3 Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few small lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing can lead to tough waffles. The batter should be thick but pourable, with a slightly grainy texture from the almond flour.
4 Lightly grease your preheated waffle iron if necessary. Ladle about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot iron for each waffle, spreading it slightly to cover the surface. Close the lid and cook for approximately 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside, and cooked through. The steam should subside, indicating they are nearly done.
5 Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron using a fork or spatula. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream. Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or frozen for longer storage.
