Made with nutrient-rich coconut flour, these waffles are perfect for those seeking a gluten-free and dairy-free option. Paired with the rich taste of salted butter and the tropical essence of coconut milk, this recipe will elevate your breakfast experience.
Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Melt the salted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are fully beaten and slightly frothy.
- Gradually add the melted butter, coconut milk, and honey to the eggs, whisking continuously to blend everything well.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until the batter forms a smooth consistency. The batter will be thicker than traditional waffle batter due to the coconut flour.
- Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a bit of melted butter.
- Pour the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, using about 1/4 cup of batter per waffle or as recommended by your waffle iron manufacturer. Spread the batter slightly if needed.
- Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the waffles from the waffle iron and place them on a plate. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. These can include additional melted butter, maple syrup, fresh fruits, or even a dollop of whipped cream.

Coconut waffles FAQ:
Cook the coconut waffles in your preheated waffle iron for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your waffle iron.
Store leftover coconut waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can freeze them for longer storage; just ensure they are separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Coconut flour is unique due to its high absorbency and gluten-free nature. If you must substitute, consider a gluten-free all-purpose flour, but keep in mind the texture and moisture content may change, so you'll likely need to adjust the liquid ingredients.
You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a similar sweetness. If you prefer a sugar-free option, try using a sugar substitute suitable for baking.
The waffles are done when they are golden brown and crisp on the outside. Most waffle irons have a light indicator that will signal when they are ready, but checking the color is a good visual cue.
Tips:
- To achieve the best texture, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps create a fluffy waffle.
- Use a sifter for the coconut flour to avoid lumps and ensure even mixing.
- Preheat your waffle iron before pouring the batter to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- For additional flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
