This is great if you like the flavor of coconut, but it may be off-putting for someone who’s sitting down to breakfast imagining their favorite buttermilk waffle.
For people seeking a grain free waffle, one that’s suitable for a Keto or gluten free diet, these can be the difference between “waffles” and “no waffles.” (This almond flour waffle recipe is another grain free, gluten free option.)

This recipe comes together quickly with a blender. If you don’t have a blender, you can use a hand mixer, a stand mixer, or yes, even a whisk.
