đ©âđł Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Waffle Iron
Turn your waffle maker to medium-high and let it fully heat up. This is crucial for crispy wafflesâdonât rush this step.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
Make sure there are no lumps.

Sweetener (if using)
Mix until smooth and slightly frothy.
4. Make the Batter
