Paleo Waffles Recipe

Almond flour forms the basis of these delicious paleo waffles. They are light and airy, thanks to the egg whites being whisked up. The best part is no one is aware that they're Paleo. They taste so close to regular waffles. I have tested this with my fussy eaters too!

You can enjoy these with your favorite paleo toppings. I love making a batch of these on a Saturday morning as they are a fantastic addition to lunchboxes, a quick snack or when the children crave waffles unexpectedly.

Heat them up in your toaster, select your topping and enjoy them when want. Follow my step-by step directions for success. But they really are so easy to make!

How to Make Paleo Waffles

1. In a large bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix almond milk, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg yolks. Mix well.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Using an electric mixer, mix them until combined.
4. In a mixing bowl, add egg whites and lime juice. Using an electric mixer, mix the egg whites until bubbly, add coconut sugar, and continue mixing until soft peak.
5. Mix the egg whites mixture to the waffle batter little by little using the folding method. Use a spatula in this step. The air in the egg whites makes your waffle airier and bubblier.
6. Heat your waffle iron, and grease it with coconut oil. Pour ½ cup of batter and let your waffle iron do the work! Once the "ready" button comes on, use kitchen tongs to carefully remove the waffle and place it directly onto a cooling rack for a few minutes before eating.
7. Serve paleo waffles with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

Tips for Making The Best Paleo Waffles 

Use the folding method - To incorporate the batter and the egg whites, fold them in so they come out light and fluffy.

Grease your waffle machine well - For it not to stick, grease your waffle iron well. Just be sure to check your waffle irons guide. 

Egg whites soft peak - Ensure the egg whites reach a soft peak.
