FAQ:
Q. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but the ratio will change due to coconut flour’s higher absorbency. Start with a quarter of the amount and adjust as needed.
Q. Is there a vegan protein powder option?
Absolutely! There are many plant-based protein powders that work well with this recipe.
Q. How can I make these waffles fluffier?
Incorporate a bit more baking powder or separate the eggs and whip the whites before folding them into the batter.
Q. Can these waffles be frozen?
Yes, they freeze beautifully. Just let them cool, then store in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag.
Q. What’s the best way to reheat these waffles?
Reheat in a toaster or oven for the best texture. Microwaving can make them a bit soggy.
