Step 1: Prepare Your Waffle Iron - Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This is crucial for achieving that crispy texture we all love!
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients - In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk everything together until well combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients - In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 4: Combine the Mixtures - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
Step 5: Cook the Waffles - Once your waffle iron is hot, lightly grease it with coconut oil. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the center of the iron (this will vary depending on your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! - Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. A drizzle of honey, a generous spoonful of strawberry chia seed jam, and a dollop of coconut whipped cream make for an irresistible combination!
