Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups (225g) fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tbsp (30g) granulated sugar (for compote)
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp (2.5ml) food-grade rosewater (optional)
- 2 cups (200g) blanched almond flour
- 2 tbsp (30g) granulated sugar (for batter)
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 0.5 tsp (3g) fine sea salt
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 0.25 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (5g) finely chopped toasted almonds, for garnish
- 0.33 cup (50g) fresh raspberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Compote: Simmer raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until berries break down. Remove from heat, stir in rosewater, and let cool completely.
- Prepare Waffle Iron and Dry Ingredients: Preheat waffle iron according to instructions and grease lightly if needed. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and sea salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are acceptable.
- Add Compote Swirl: Gently fold in 0.25 cup of the cooled raspberry compote into the batter, minimally swirling to create ribbons. Reserve the remaining compote for serving.
- Cook Waffles: Pour 0.5 to 0.75 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook for 4-7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Carefully remove cooked waffles and serve immediately with the remaining compote, fresh raspberries, and toasted almonds.
Notes
For best results, make sure the compote has plenty of time to thicken as it cools; it can be made the night before. To keep waffles crispy, transfer them to a wire rack to prevent trapped steam from making them soggy.
