Buckwheat almond waffles recipe
Who doesn’t love waffles? I got a waffle-maker as a Christmas gift last year, and I have been working on perfecting this recipe ever since. I make a big batch on the weekends and then pop them in the toaster during the week for a quick, healthy breakfast option. They’re definitely worth dusting off your waffle iron for!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
- Plug in/Pre-heat waffle iron.
- Mix the wet ingredients: egg yolks, honey, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla.
- Mix the dry ingredients: buckwheat flour, almond meal, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until gentle peaks form.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly. Add more almond milk if the mixture is not a smooth consistency.
- Fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Spray your waffle iron (if needed).
- Add batter to waffle iron and cook until desired consistency. TIP: I use an ice cream scoop (one large scoop per waffle).
- Enjoy.
