I’ve been experimenting with date sugar a bit lately. I accidentally came up with a great waffle recipe while I was testing date sugar with my waffle cone recipe. Spoiler alert: the cone recipe is a work in progress, but these waffles are amazing. Fluffy without any added baking soda, baking powder, yogurt, or lemon juice.
They come out a bit darker and burn a bit easier than my waffle recipes using other sweeteners. Keep an eye on them: start with a medium setting on your waffle maker to see how dark they are and then adjust from there. I use water to keep the fat content low, but feel free to swap out the water for dairy-free milk or cream.
I use almond flour here, but any nut or seed flour should work well. I haven’t tried mixing in coconut flour yet or on it’s own, but may test that in the future.
In case you’re in need of a waffle maker, I’m happy with my current waffle maker. I use about two tablespoons for each waffle. As you can see in the photo below, it only fills my waffle iron about halfway, but I like my waffles on the smaller side.

I’m very sad that now one must be a paid subscriber to access your recipes. It’s the end of an era and a door closing.

Thanks, Susan. I appreciate your thoughts. I offer many well-loved recipes for free. Copyright protection is challenging and becoming more so. I love writing and offering recipes, but I also need to protect my work and cover some of my costs. I’ll hope you’ll think about becoming a paid subscriber to support my work. Best wishes, Erica.
