FAQs

Can I make these waffles ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the waffles in advance and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a toaster or oven for a crispy texture.

Can I use regular flour instead of almond and coconut flour?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour, but it will change the texture and may not be low-carb. The almond and coconut flour give these waffles a lighter, fluffier texture.

Are these waffles gluten-free?

Yes, these waffles are gluten-free as they use almond flour and coconut flour instead of traditional wheat flour.

Can I make these waffles without a waffle iron?

Yes, you can cook the batter like pancakes on a griddle or non-stick pan. Just spoon the batter onto the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides.

How can I make these waffles even fluffier?

For extra fluff, try separating the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold them into the batter for added lift.
