Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup full-fat canned coconut milk or almond milk, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil, plus more for greasing
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
Dry Ingredients
- 1¼ cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric (or 2 tablespoons fresh turmeric juice)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon flax meal
- ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready before adding batter.
- Mix ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine coconut milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cider vinegar, vanilla extract, almond flour, turmeric, baking soda, flax meal, Himalayan pink salt, black pepper, and eggs. Beat on medium speed until the batter is completely combined and smooth.
- Prepare waffle iron: Carefully brush the preheated waffle iron with coconut oil or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook waffles: Pour ⅓ cup of batter into the waffle iron and spread evenly with a spatula. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for 3-5 minutes, until waffles are golden and cooked through.
- Serve and store: Transfer the cooked waffle to a warm plate. Repeat greasing and cooking with remaining batter. Serve waffles hot. Cool leftover waffles completely, then wrap in plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven before serving.
Notes
- Using fresh turmeric juice instead of ground turmeric will give a slightly different flavor and fresher taste.
- Make sure waffle iron is well-greased to avoid sticking and breaking waffles.
- Store leftover waffles properly to maintain texture and flavor.
- Flax meal adds a slight nutty flavor and helps bind the batter.
- Adjust black pepper to taste; it complements the turmeric and enhances the overall flavor.
