Lazy weekend mornings are when we really lean into slow, nourishing breakfasts. There’s something so satisfying about taking the time to whip up something that feels a little indulgent but still totally aligned with how we eat. These waffles were born from one of those mornings—when we wanted something cozy, comforting, and sweet but didn’t want to start the day with a carb crash.
We’d been experimenting with ways to pack more fiber into our mornings without sacrificing flavor or texture, and the combo of almond flour, chia seeds, and flax meal totally changed the game. These ingredients bring not just structure and crunch, but so much nutritional power: omega-3s, fiber, healthy fats, and plant-based protein. It’s the kind of waffle that keeps you full for hours without feeling heavy.
What makes this dish extra special is how versatile it is. Whether we’re serving it fresh off the waffle iron or pulling a prepped batch from the freezer for a midweek treat, it always delivers. The drizzle of warm almond butter over top adds richness without overpowering the natural nuttiness of the waffle itself, and when we’re feeling fancy, we’ll throw on some berries or a sprinkle of hemp hearts for a little extra flair and fiber.
This is one of those recipes we keep coming back to—not just because it’s so dang good, but because it makes us feel good. It’s easy, customizable, and the perfect excuse to slow down and enjoy breakfast again.

Instructions
Make the Waffle Batter:
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, flaxseed, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients until a thick batter forms. Let sit 2–3 minutes so the chia and flax absorb some liquid.
Cook the Waffles:
-
Preheat your waffle iron and grease it lightly.
-
Pour the batter into the waffle iron, spreading it evenly.
-
Cook until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 4–6 minutes, depending on your waffle maker.
Serve:
-
Drizzle with warmed almond butter.
-
Top with raspberries and an optional dash of cinnamon or sprinkle of hemp hearts.
-
Serve hot and enjoy the nutty, fiber-rich flavor.
