Even though these waffles are made with almond flour they are not dense or heavy at all.
They are light and crispy! I also kept it dairy-free by using my favorite avocado oil.

Tools to Make Grain Free Paleo Waffles
You will need a few items to make these grain free and egg free waffles:
Waffle Iron: I’ve been using this one for years
Mixing bowl
Whisk or fork
Measuring Spoon
Measuring Cup
Blender, Spice Mill, I used a Coffee Grinder to make the Milled Chia Seeds
How to Make Egg Free Paleo Almond Flour Waffles
Add almond flour, tapioca flour, sugar, sea salt, milled chia seeds, grain free baking powder (baking powder recipe can be found here) to a mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
Next add vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, and almond milk to a bowl and mix.
Add liquid to dry ingredient and whisk until combined.
Heat your waffle iron and add the batter once it’s heated.
My waffle iron goes up to a 5 on the heat setting and I heat mine at number 4 until the light turns green. Your waffle iron may have a dial that indicates when it is ready and fully heated.
You can use some avocado oil spray if your surface is not non-stick.
Next, add the mixture to the waffle iron and close it until it’s cooked through.
Your waffle iron may have an indicator light to let you know when it’s done.
I typically wait until the steam stops.

Notes
Tips to Keep Your Waffles Crispy
When you are done cooking one waffle add it to a wire rack so that the bottom doesn’t get soggy from the steam from the hot waffles.
Alternatively, you can turn your oven on to keep them warm and add them on top of a parchment-lined pan whilst the other waffles cook.
How to Store Leftover or Meal-Prepped Waffles
These waffles will last in the fridge for 5 days or more. In order to reheat and crisp up, simply add one to a toaster, toaster oven, or air-fryer.
They freeze well! Simply add your waffles to a large freezer-safe container and separate each one with a layer of parchment paper and freeze until you’re ready to enjoy.
Almond flour waffles are great for meal prep!
