Recipe tips
Tips on making the best sugar free waffles ever:
- Flour Consistency: Ensure your almond flour is finely ground for a smoother texture in your waffle batter. This will result in waffles that are both flavorful and perfectly cooked.
- Cream Cheese Integration: To avoid lumps in your batter, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with other ingredients. This will help it blend seamlessly, leading to waffles with a consistent and delightful taste.
Storage
To store these waffles follow these simple tips:
- Cooling: Allow the cooked waffles to cool completely on a wire rack. This prevents excess moisture from accumulating when stored.
- Individual Wrapping: Once cooled, wrap each waffle individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper. This prevents them from sticking together and helps maintain their freshness.
- Freezer Bag: Place the wrapped waffles in a freezer-safe resealable bag. Press out excess air before sealing to prevent freezer burn.
- Label and Date: Write the date on the bag so you can keep track of freshness. Waffles can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Thawing and Reheating: When ready to enjoy, remove the desired number of waffles from the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature. To reheat, use a toaster, toaster oven, or oven until they're warm and crisp.
By following these steps, you can keep your sugar-free waffles fresh and delicious for future enjoyment.
