Crispy Grain-Free Waffles

Step 1

In a liquid measuring cup, combine the almond milk and vinegar. Allow to rest until slightly thickened — about 15 minutes, depending on the milk you’re using.

Step 2

, In a small bowl, whisk together the flax meal and water. Set aside for 5 minutes while the mixture thickens. (Skip this step if you’re using regular eggs.)

Step 3

, Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Step 4

, In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, starch, and baking powder.

Step 5

, Add the flax mixture (or eggs), milk mixture, maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the batter is smooth.

Step 6

, Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown. When done, the waffle iron will stop emitting steam; it’s important to wait for the steam to stop before attempting to open the iron, otherwise the waffles will stick.

Step 7

, Serve waffles immediately with your favorite topping.

Step 8

, Store cooled waffles in a covered container or in a sealed zip-top bag on the counter for up to two days. Freeze waffles for longer storage, reheating them in a waffle iron or oven set to low heat.
