Ingredients in Almond Flour Waffles
- Almond Flour: This is the gluten-free base for these homemade waffles. You can create your own almond flour or buy it at the store.
- Baking Powder: Helps the waffles rise and get fluffy.
- Granulated Sugar: Adds a hint of sweetness.

Tips for Making the Best Almond Flour Waffles
- Don’t overmix the batter! Whisk until the ingredients are just combined. Like almond flour pancakes, it’s OK if the batter has lumps.
- Grease the waffle maker well before adding the batter. You may need to grease again after cooking one waffle.
Why Are My Homemade Waffles Not Crispy?
The best waffles have golden, crispy edges. If the waffles are soggy, the waffle maker may not have heated up all the way. Be sure that it comes to temperature before adding the batter. It needs to be hot!
Is Waffle Batter Usually Thinner Than Pancake Batter?
No, waffle batter is usually thicker than pancake batter since that texture helps the waffles stay light and fluffy.
Can You Overmix Waffle Batter?
Yes, you can overmix waffle batter. Be careful with the mixing since that will result in air pockets in the batter.
What Are Good Toppings for Waffles?
Varying the waffle toppings is part of the fun of a waffle breakfast. You can top them with fresh fruit like blueberries and strawberries or opt for gluten-free syrups or natural honey. You can also top with whipped cream for a decadent treat.
Ingredients Substitutions
- To add a fun fall flavor or a hint of warmth, you can add a dash of cinnamon to the batter.
- To make the waffles dairy-free, use your favorite dairy-free butter such as Smart Balance, and substitute the milk with plant-based milk such as unsweetened almond milk.

These turned out great! We added some cut up raspberries. Don’t forget the salt, since it’s missing from the directions. Love using almond flour for my daughter’s waffles!
