Photo: Lemon-Almond Waffles Recipe
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
Lemon Honey:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 large lemon
Waffles:
- 2 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
- 2 cups unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, optional
- Special equipment: an electric waffle maker
Directions
Preheat the waffle maker. Lightly spray the waffle grills with vegetable oil cooking spray.
For the lemon honey: Heat the honey, lemon juice and lemon zest over medium heat in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, until warm, about 4 minutes.
For the waffles: Beat the egg whites until they are thick and hold soft peaks using a whisk or an electric hand mixer in a medium bowl, about 2 minutes.
Combine the egg yolks, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract and lemon zest in a large bowl. Beat until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until smooth.
Fold the egg whites, butter and chocolate chips if using into the batter. Using the amount recommended by the waffle iron manufacturer's instructions, about 1/3 cup of batter for each waffle, pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drizzle with lemon honey and serve.

We really loved them! The first couple of batches came out lighter than I would have liked but after that they browned up great. I didn't have the almond flour but did have sliced almonds and ground them up in a food processor. Also, made the first few batches without any chocolate chips and liked them better than the batches I made with a handful of chopped up chocolate chips.

Woke up to a snow day and decided to try these out since I had all of the ingredients on hand. Glad I did! The flavor and texture of the waffles was excellent. Crispy outside, light fluffy and maybe a little chewy inside. Lemon and almond were balanced with each other and not overwhelming to eat first thing in the morning. I did not make the syrup based on some of the "overly sweet" comments but it doesn't matter because you can eat these without any additional condiments, they're that good.
