Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour or coconut flour (for a gluten-free option)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (gluten-free)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond or coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips if desired.
- Preheat your waffle iron until it reaches the optimal temperature. Lightly grease the plates with non-stick spray or a bit of melted coconut oil.
- Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, ensuring even distribution. Close the lid and cook for about 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are crispy and cooked through.
- Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate drizzle. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For longer storage, freeze cooked waffles in a single layer and reheat in a toaster or oven.
- Adjust cooking times based on your waffle maker for crispier results.
- You can customize these waffles by adding nuts or other mix-ins.
