👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to fully preheat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine:
-

-
Melted butter
Mix until smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly (coconut flour absorbs moisture).

Pour batter into the waffle maker (don’t overfill).

Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
