Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- Make sure no flour streaks are left when mixing batter- Unmixed flour in batter will result in not evenly cooked waffles and for certain parts to ramain uncooked. Make sure to whisk the batter well and that there aren’t any streaks of flour left in it.
- Careful not to use too much coconut oil when greasing waffle maker– If too much is used, as the oil melts it will water down batter and waffles will become too mushy. Use no more than 1/2-1 tsp coconut oil.
- No Coconut oil?- Use butter or ghee as a substitute.
- Do not use metal utensils to flip waffles in waffle maker- Metal utensils such a spatula, can scratch your waffle maker and start to ware out its coating. This will then cause your waffle maker to not heat up evenly and not cook waffles evenly as well. Instead, opt for using silicone spatulas to flip your waffles.
