👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Waffle Maker

👉 This is key for crispy waffles—don’t skip it!
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, add:
-
Almond flour
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
Mix well so everything is evenly combined.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk:
-
Eggs
-
Melted butter
-
Almond milk
-
Vanilla extract (if using)
-
Sweetener
Whisk until smooth.
Step 4: Combine Wet & Dry
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
Stir until you get a thick, smooth batter.
👉 If it feels too thick, add 1 tbsp almond milk.
👉 If too runny, add a little almond flour.
Step 5: Grease the Waffle Maker
Lightly grease with butter or oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6: Cook the Waffles
-
Pour batter into the waffle maker (don’t overfill)
-
Close lid and cook for 3–5 minutes (depends on your machine)
👉 Don’t open too early—wait until steam reduces.
Step 7: Check for Crispiness
Once golden brown, carefully remove.
👉 For extra crisp:
Place waffles on a rack for 2–3 minutes instead of stacking.
