Ingredients
Waffle Batter
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon olive oil (Costabile)
- ½ cup almond milk, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon almond milk, room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup or maple syrup
- ½ cup blueberries
Blueberry Compote
- ½ cup blueberries
- 4 tablespoons water
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup blueberries, 4 tablespoons water, a squeeze of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon coconut sugar if using. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Make the Waffle Batter: In a blender, add the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, eggs, lemon olive oil, almond milk, baking powder, sea salt, vanilla extract, and agave or maple syrup. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds. Gently fold in the ½ cup blueberries by hand to avoid crushing them.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it if needed to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using an appropriate amount to evenly cover the surface without overflow. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, typically 4-6 minutes.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately topped with the warm blueberry compote for a flavorful and healthy breakfast treat.
Notes
- Ensure eggs and almond milk are at room temperature to help the batter blend smoothly.
- Adjust the sweetness of the compote by adding more or less coconut sugar according to taste.
- The lemon olive oil enhances the lemon flavor; if unavailable, you can substitute with regular olive oil and a bit of lemon zest.
- For a crispier texture, allow waffles to cool on a wire rack before serving, or reheat in a toaster.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries interchangeably, just remember to adjust cooking time slightly if frozen.
