Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

For the Donut Waffles:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/3 cup tapioca starch
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• Dash of nutmeg
• 1/3 cup plain dairy-free yogurt or full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil or avocado oil
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar, raw cane sugar, or maple sugar
• 2 eggs, room temperature

For the Glaze:

• 2-3 tablespoons softened coconut butter
• 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar, organic or monk fruit for a sugar-free option
• Christmas-themed sprinkles

Instructions

 

Prepare the Batter:

• Preheat and lightly oil your waffle iron.
• In a small bowl, mix the coconut milk with a splash of lemon juice and let it sit for several minutes to create a dairy-free “buttermilk.”
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, and chosen sugar until well combined. Stir in the “buttermilk” mixture.
• In another bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and nutmeg.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Cook the Donut Waffles:

• Spoon or pipe the batter into the preheated waffle iron, leaving a small hole in the center if you desire a donut shape.
• Allow the batter to puff up slightly before gently closing the waffle iron.
• Cook for at least 3 minutes, or until the waffles are light golden brown. Ensure you re-oil the waffle iron between batches to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Glaze:

• In a small bowl, combine the softened coconut butter, full-fat coconut milk, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Glaze and Decorate:

• Once the waffles have cooled slightly but are still warm, dip each one gently into the glaze.
• Place the glazed waffles on a cooling rack and immediately sprinkle with Christmas-themed sprinkles for a festive touch.

Serve:

• These Christmas Glazed Donut Waffles are best enjoyed within a few hours of preparation or the next day. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
