Almond Waffles with Berries and Almond Whipped Cream

Homemade almond waffles topped with fresh berries and almond whipped cream. Tender inside, crisp outside, and flavored with almond flour, almond milk, and almond extract.

Let’s make waffles! And not the frozen kind that my son insists on eating while still frozen (eww). Dust off your waffle iron and we’ll make homemade almond waffles with fluffy insides and crisp edges. And while we’re at it, let’s top those waffles with fresh berries and almond whipped cream. Are you in?

After years without owning a waffle iron, I finally have one. When I realized that my four year old thought waffles only came out of a box in the freezer(!) I knew it was time to introduce him to the real deal. Early one Sunday morning, Jake and I stood in the kitchen whisking, stirring, and pouring batter into the waffle iron. As he stood on a chair pushed up against the kitchen counter, nibbling bites of warm waffles fresh from the waffle iron, I knew he was sold.

These aren’t just any waffles, they are almond waffles. Almond flour, almond milk, and almond extract impart a subtle nutty flavor. They are slightly sweet; enough so that you could eat them plain. Or if you want to go all out, they are absolutely divine when topped with fresh berries and whipped cream. They’re good with syrup too, of course! I happened to have homemade blackberry syrup leftover from these, so we used that on our waffles. #BestDecisionEver

If you have any waffles leftover, stick them in the fridge or freezer. You’ll love having them on hand to pop into the toaster when you want a quick and tasty breakfast!
