Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-ahead: Prepare the batter the night before and store it in the fridge. In the morning, simply pour it onto the waffle iron for a fuss-free breakfast.
- Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have almond flour, you may use finely ground coconut flour, but adjust the amount as it absorbs more moisture than almond flour.
- Storage Suggestions: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for a quick breakfast option later on. Just pop them in the toaster to reheat!
- Slicing Tricks: To prevent sticking, lightly grease the waffle iron between waffles for the perfect crisp.
