Ingredients
Almond flour: My favorite is Bob's Red Mill almond flour
Tapioca flour: Also a favorite flour from Bob's Red Mill
Coconut flour: Coconut flour is going to lend a bit of moisture to these waffles. I use organic coconut flour from Bob's Red Mill
Eggs: Eggs are necessary here to give these waffles their fluffy texture.
Lemon olive oil: Instead of lemons, we are using lemon olive oil by Costabile I find this easier to have on hand at all times and you don't have to worry about it going bad like you do lemons. The olive oil is also adding a source of healthy fats to these waffles.
Almond milk: Almond milk acts as a binding agent and adds a level of richness that can't be done with water alone.
Baking powder
Salt
Vanilla: Always use a quality vanilla extract such as Singing Dog Vanilla
Agave syrup: Instead of agave syrup you can also use maple syrup. Both add moisture and are naturally sweetened keeping these waffles refined sugar-free.
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are easier to work with than frozen blueberries, which can sometimes bleed and turn the batter a bluish color.
Instructions
- Place all ingredients minus blueberries into the blender. Blend until combined. Fold blueberries into the mixture.
- Lightly coat the heated waffle maker with coconut oil. Pour batter onto the waffle maker and then close the lid. Allow to cook until the light turns green. If your waffle maker doesn’t have a green light, allow it to cook until the top has turned brown.
- For the compote, in a small saucepan, heat ingredients on low and allow to simmer. Stir occasionally. As the blueberries soften, you will see the “sauce” begin to turn purple. Once this thickens, remove from heat and serve!
Storage
If you're only storing waffles for a day or two, you can simply place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. You can reheat them in a toaster or oven as needed.
Equipment
Use a waffle maker for this recipe for the best results.
Top tips
- Preheat your waffle iron: Make sure to preheat your waffle iron before pouring in the batter. This ensures that your waffles cook evenly and get that nice golden-brown color.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Using room temperature ingredients, particularly the eggs, will help the batter mix more evenly and result in a lighter, fluffier waffle.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough and chewy waffles. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined and then stop.
- Let the batter rest: Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before pouring it into the waffle iron. This allows the gluten in the batter to relax, resulting in a more tender waffle.
