Almond Flour Waffles With Berries (Printable version)

Light, fluffy almond flour waffles topped with fresh berries and maple syrup — gluten-free and easy.

# What you'll need:

→ Waffle Batter

01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
04 - 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ For Serving

09 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
10 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
11 - Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well blended.
03 - Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Whisk until the batter is smooth and thick with no lumps remaining.
04 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Spoon enough batter onto the iron to just cover the waffle grid surface.
05 - Close the iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
06 - Serve the waffles warm, topped with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These waffles are naturally gluten-free without tasting like a compromise, which is rare and worth celebrating.
  • The batter comes together in one bowl with zero fuss, making lazy mornings feel indulgent instead of frantic.
02 -
  • Almond flour batter is thicker than traditional waffle batter and that is completely normal, so resist the urge to add more liquid.
  • Opening the waffle iron too early will tear the waffle apart since almond flour takes slightly longer to set than regular flour.
03 -
  • Let the batter rest for five minutes before cooking because almond flour absorbs liquid slowly and the texture improves dramatically with a short wait.
  • Every waffle iron runs differently so watch the steam rather than the timer, and when the steam slows down your waffle is usually done.
