Delicious and nutritious Almond Flour Waffles made with wholesome ingredients like flax seeds, almond flour, and tapioca starch. These waffles are lightly sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla extract, making them a perfect gluten-free breakfast option that is both fluffy and satisfying.

Ingredients

Flax Egg

  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons water

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons apple sauce
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make Flax Eggs: Combine the ground flax seeds and water in a bowl, whisk together well, and set aside to thicken for a few minutes. This mixture will act as a binding agent for the waffles.
  2. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, apple sauce, almond butter, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk everything until a smooth batter forms. Then stir in the thickened flax egg thoroughly to combine.
  4. Heat Waffle Maker: Preheat a waffle maker and lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking. For best results, set your waffle maker to a higher heat setting (such as 5 out of 6) because these almond flour waffles require a slightly longer cooking time than typical waffles.
  5. Scoop Batter: Use a ladle to scoop the batter into the preheated waffle maker, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, which may take a bit longer than traditional waffles.

Notes

  • These waffles are gluten-free and suitable for those avoiding wheat.
  • You can use any type of milk (dairy or plant-based) depending on your preference.
  • The apple cider vinegar helps the waffles rise and gives a slight tang.
  • Make sure the flax eggs are fully thickened before adding to the batter for best results.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to your taste.
  • Waffles are best served warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nut butter, or syrup.
