Pro Tips
• Coconut flour is very absorbent. If your batter seems too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk until it reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
• Be sure to generously grease your waffle iron with butter or coconut oil before each waffle, even if it’s non-stick. Coconut flour batters can be prone to sticking.
• These waffles freeze beautifully! Let them cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe bag with parchment paper between each one. Reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
