Gluten-Free: Swap out the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour. Popular options include almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend. These alternatives will still give you that fabulous crunch! 🥜

Faq
- How do I prevent my waffles from sticking?
Ensure your waffle iron is well-greased and fully preheated before adding the batter. Using a non-stick waffle iron can also help!
- Can I make the batter in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before using.
- How can I make my waffles lighter and fluffier?
Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them gently into the batter. This extra step will add incredible lightness!
- Why are my waffles turning out soggy?
Make sure the waffle iron is hot enough before you start cooking, and avoid stacking the waffles on top of each other once cooked. A wire rack helps keep them crisp!
- Can I freeze my leftover waffles?
Absolutely! Allow them to cool completely, then store in an airtight container or zip-lock bag. Pop them in the toaster or oven to reheat.
- What's the best way to clean my waffle iron?
First, unplug the iron and let it cool. Wipe down the plates with a damp cloth—avoid using soap. For stubborn bits, a soft brush or old toothbrush works wonders.
