What ingredients do I need to make this Almond Flour Waffle Recipe?

One of my favorite things about this homemade waffle recipe is how simple it is! Unlike many gluten free waffles, almond flour is packed with protein and creates a rich, buttery flavor and tender texture.

• Almond Flour
• Tapioca Flour
• Baking Powder
• Eggs
• Oil
• Salt
• Plant-Based Milk

Optional for a Sweet Waffle

• Maple Syrup

Almond Flour or Almond Meal?

Almond FLOUR is a must for these waffles to turn out right.  Do not use almond meal which is very grainy.

Make sure to use high quality almond flour that is blanched and finely ground like this one, or we love using the Kirkland brand almond flour from Costco!

Are almond flour waffles keto?

They can be. Simply omit any sweetener or replace it with your favorite keto-friendly sweetener.

How to Make Almond Flour Waffles

• Start by preheating your waffle maker while you mix the batter.

• In one bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, and salt.

• Add in the eggs, oil, and milk until smooth.

• Stir until everything is combined. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes so the almond flour has time to absorb some of the liquid.

• Grease your waffle iron lightly and scoop in the batter according to your waffle maker's instructions.

• Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Resist the temptation to open the waffle maker too early. Letting them cook completely helps create those delicious crispy edges.

• Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

These waffles are delicious all by themselves, but toppings make them even better!

• pure maple syrup
• fresh fruit
• Greek yogurt
• chopped nuts
• jams
• coconut cream
• peanut butter/almond butter
• chocolate chips

For a savory twist, skip the maple syrup in the batter and top your waffles with a fried egg, avocado, and crispy bacon.

Storage and Freezing

These waffles are excellent for meal prep.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To freeze, let the waffles cool completely before placing them in a freezer-safe bag with parchment paper between each waffle.

When you're ready to enjoy one, simply pop it into the toaster or air fryer until hot and crispy again.

I love making a double batch because they freeze beautifully and reheat perfectly in the toaster. It's one of those recipes you'll be grateful to have tucked away for busy mornings when everyone wants a homemade breakfast without the extra work.

Whether you pile them high with fresh berries and maple syrup or keep them simple with a pat of butter, these grain-free waffles are sure to become a family favorite.
