👩🍳 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:
-
Almond flour

Vanilla extract
-
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.
