Instructions:

1. Preheat Waffle Iron:
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease if necessary.

2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until smooth and uniform. Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk again to combine thoroughly.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the coconut flour, cinnamon, and salt. Mixing these dry ingredients ensures that the flavors are evenly distributed and there are no clumps.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously. Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture, so it’s important to mix well to achieve a consistent batter. Let the batter sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.

5. Cook Waffles:
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (the amount might vary depending on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, typically about 3-5 minutes. Repeat as necessary until all the batter is used up.

6. Serve:
Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and place them on a serving plate. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon.

7. Enjoy:

Cinnamon coconut waffles FAQ:

What is the cooking time for the cinnamon coconut waffles?

Cook the waffles for about 3-5 minutes in the preheated waffle iron, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the specific model of your waffle iron.

How do I know when the waffles are done?

The waffles are done when they are golden brown and no longer steaming. Most waffle irons have an indicator light that will signal when they are ready, but you can also check by carefully opening the iron.

Can I store leftover waffles?

Yes, you can store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

What can I use as a substitute for coconut flour?

Coconut flour is unique and absorbs a lot of moisture; however, if you need a substitute, you can try using almond flour, using about 1.5 times the amount. Be aware that you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients to achieve the right batter consistency.

Can I make these waffles dairy-free?

Yes, this recipe is already dairy-free as it uses coconut oil instead of butter. Just ensure any additional toppings you choose are also dairy-free.

Tips:

- Ensure your waffle iron is preheated and well-greased with a bit of coconut oil to prevent sticking.

- Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them to ensure even distribution.

- You can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra protein boost.

- If you prefer sweeter waffles, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or a natural sweetener to the batter.

- Let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking to allow the coconut flour to absorb the moisture properly.

- Avoid overfilling the waffle iron to prevent batter from overflowing and to ensure even cooking.

- Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat them in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
