But more important than that, they’re light, crispy, and delicious with maple syrup.

Perfect for a big family brunch.

(Sadly, this means every single recipe from mymac and cheese cookbookis off the table!)

Rather than see these dietary restrictions as inconveniences, I prefer to see them as challenges.

Or, at the least, an excuse to buy and explore alternatives such as buckwheat and amaranth flours.

Gluten-Free Waffle Batter

I’m particularly smitten with almond flour, also known as almond meal.

The flavor and texture it adds to recipes is just so sweet and nutty.

This recipe for almond flour waffles is one result of all this playing around with flour.

Crispy Almond Waffles

Sally Vargas

They incorporate almonds in three ways: almond flour, almond milk, and almond extract.

Theyre bursting with almond flavor and have a perfectly crispy texture.

This recipe is also completely flexible with whatever flours, milks or allergies!

you might be working with.

Swapping in butter, whole milk, and all-purpose flour will get you a more traditional, bread-y waffle.

This recipe is easily doubled.

Heat the oven to 250F.

Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and thoroughly whisk together.

Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to give the flour time to absorb the liquid.

Grease the waffle maker and make waffles according to manufacturers instructions.
