FAQs
Can I use other flours instead of almond flour?
Almond flour gives these waffles their distinct texture and flavor. Substituting with other flours may require adjustments to liquid amounts and may change the texture.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to cook the waffles fresh for the best texture, but you can prepare the batter a few hours ahead and keep it refrigerated. Give it a good stir before cooking.
