Pro Tips
• Don’t overmix the batter. Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid and can become dense if overworked. Mix until just combined for the best texture.
• Grease your waffle iron generously between each waffle, even if it’s non-stick. The cheese can cause sticking.
• These waffles freeze beautifully. Let them cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe bag with parchment paper between each one. Reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick meal.
• Let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing. This allows the coconut flour to fully absorb the liquid, resulting in a better-structured waffle.
