1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet waffles)

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle iron and let it fully preheat. This is key for crispy waffles.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together:
-
Coconut flour
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid, so make sure it’s well combined with no lumps.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk:
-
Eggs
-
Heavy cream
-
Melted butter
-
Vanilla extract (if using)
-
Sweetener (if making sweet waffles)
Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
4. Make the Batter
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until fully combined.
💡 Tip: Let the batter sit for 2–3 minutes so the coconut flour absorbs moisture and thickens properly.
5. Cook the Waffles
-
Lightly grease your waffle maker
-
Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the center
-
Close and cook for 3–5 minutes (depending on your waffle maker)
Do not open too early — let them crisp up!
6. Remove & Serve
Carefully remove waffles and let them cool for 1–2 minutes (they firm up as they cool).
