Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Flour
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk (full-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon Almond Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (Paleo-friendly sweetener)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Preparing the Waffle Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined.

Adding the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Be sure the coconut oil is not too hot to prevent cooking the eggs.

Combining Wet and Dry Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light. Let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.

Cooking the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with coconut oil or cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended by the waffle iron's instructions. Cook until golden brown and crispy, usually 3-5 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.

Serving the Waffles

Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron. Serve immediately with your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings, such as fresh berries, coconut whipped cream, almond butter, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

FAQ

  • Can I use another type of flour instead of coconut flour?

    Coconut flour is very absorbent, so substituting it with another flour will significantly change the recipe's texture. Almond flour can be used, but adjust the wet ingredients accordingly.
  • Can I make the batter ahead of time?

    It's best to make the batter fresh, as coconut flour tends to absorb liquid over time. If you need to prepare it in advance, store it in the refrigerator for a short period (up to 1 hour) and add a little extra coconut milk if it becomes too thick.
  • How do I make sure my waffles are crispy?

    Ensure your waffle iron is preheated to the correct temperature. Don't open the waffle iron too early; wait until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. A little extra coconut oil in the batter can also help with crispiness.
  • Can I add chocolate chips to the batter?

    Yes, you can add Paleo-friendly chocolate chips (such as those sweetened with stevia or coconut sugar) to the batter for a chocolatey treat.
