Have you tried it in pancake form?? Love the waffles but hate cleaning my iron.
I haven’t but it should work, I will try!
Made these on Saint Patrick’s day for my kids, they loved them!! Another great recipe.. Thank you
These were delicious and perfect for St Patrick’s day! I was a little short on almond flour so I used a little less than half a cup of coconut flour and I was a little short on arrowroot, so I used 1/2 arrowroot & 1/2 tapioca and they still turned out great!
Wow great substitutions! SO glad it stilled turned out wonderful!
I had them saved for ever in my Instagram and I just tried them today. I didn’t put any maple syrup or cinnamon in the batter because I wanted to eat them with an egg as well and they were amazing! They went well both with savory and sweet flavors. They just taste as normal waffles. Congratulations for the great recipe!
So smart! Love the addition of an egg.
These were spectacular and super fun! I had to sub a little of the almond flour for oat flour as I ran out, and I stuffed a bit more spinach into the blender and they were bright green and delicious! Amazing texture and flavor! Make these asap everyone! Kids will love them too!!
Vanessa, I love that you are just as obsessed with these waffles!!
