Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded fresh apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup (120 g) almond flour
- 2 tsps (10 ml) baking powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the waffle iron by heating it to the recommended temperature and lightly coating with cooking spray.
- Create a uniform dry mixture by whisking almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly blend beaten eggs with finely shredded apples until well incorporated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain a light texture.
- Ladle the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading evenly to fill the entire surface.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, watching for a deep golden-brown color and crisp exterior.
- Carefully remove the waffle, ensuring it’s cooked through and has a crisp, even coloration.
- Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with optional toppings like fresh apple slices, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
- Swap almond flour with coconut flour for a different nutty flavor, adjusting liquid ratios to maintain waffle consistency.
- Grate apples finely to ensure even distribution and prevent watery batter, using a box grater or food processor.
- Add extra warmth with ground nutmeg or cardamom for a more complex spice profile that complements the apple’s natural sweetness.
- Prevent sticking by using a non-stick waffle iron or generously coating with avocado oil spray for crispy edges.
