This Almond Butter Waffles recipe is made with almond butter and dark chocolate chips for a delicious and satisfying weekend breakfast!
Hello, Guys! Happy Saturday
I hope that the weekend has gotten off to a great start so far. Spring is here and summer is already around the corner and I feel like enjoying every single second of the weekend. Anything fun planned for the weekend? I was thinking of going for a picnic. I’ve been craving my Easy Asparagus Pasta Salad and it would be perfect for a picnic!
Last Friday before going to bed, my sweet hubby asked me to make waffles for him on Saturday morning for breakfast. I told him that I was going to think about it, but in reality, I was craving some waffles too. It’s been a while since I’ve made my waffle recipe and it just seems so crazy, since I am a HUGE waffles lover. Why do I love waffles? Because they are so flavorful and also just by swapping ingredients you can make a different one every time like this Gluten Free Peanut Butter Waffles.
I woke up in the morning and I thought I’d make my Peanut Butter Waffles recipe because it is very easy, quick and so delicious. But I couldn’t because my pantry was out of peanut butter (we used it up making these Peanut Butter Cookies!).
I realized I had almond butter, which has the same texture as peanut butter. So, I used almond butter because I knew it wouldn’t change the recipe much. I also used almond milk instead of coconut milk. As I said so many times before I have replaced the sugar with honey/maple in my pancakes or waffles batters because I just think sugar makes it too sweet.
But if you feel you should add some sugar I would recommend only 2 tablespoons of sugar. However, what really made the difference in this Almond Butter Waffles recipe were the chocolate chips. No kidding!!
It melts with the heat of the waffle maker and brings this waffle to a whole new level. Guys, you have to try this recipe to understand what I am talking about. So good!! This waffle recipe is also great for Easter as well! I mean, who doesn’t love waffles? If you need more brunch ideas for Easter, check out my 10 Easter Brunch Recipes.
PS: I used this Waffle Maker to make my waffles. This is great because it lets you bake the same deep-pocketed waffles from your favorite restaurant, right at home. It is really easy to operate and easy to clean too. I just use a paper towel to brush any waffle dust off once it cools and the best part: it flips so that the waffle will cook evenly on both sides.

This looks delish! Do you think I could swap almond butter for peanut butter and make a peanut butter and chocolate waffle? (I’m obsessed with Reese’s! Ha!) Thanks for the recipe!
Sure, you can swap almond butter for peanut butter. It will be delicious too 😉
Olivia! Your waffles are always so perfect! Love the almond butter / chocolate combo! So buttery, fluffy and chocolatey! Yum!
I have the exact same waffle maker as you! It’s the best! I love the sound of these almond butter waffles, especially since you added chocolate chips : )
Now I’m wondering why I didn’t put a waffle maker on our wedding registry.. 3 years ago!! It’s really nice of you to make waffles for your hubby.. usually I am the one asking my hubby to make me breakfast!
No way. This is genius. I love the fact that these are gluten free and that they use almond butter. So healthy and nutritious. I am pinning this recipe to make next time I get my waffle maker out 🙂
Can’t wait to try these! Could you sub a regular egg for the two egg whites?
Egg whites give the batter a lighter texture. Need to whip those whites. It’s worth it.
Hi Olivia! I love waffles and pancakes! I’m going to make these for sure! They always taste better when they are healthy!
I totally agree with you 😉 Hope you enjoy this recipe!
Yum! Made this morning without chocolate chips. Will be saving this recipe!
So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Katy. Thanks for the feedback 😉
That’s awesome 😉
I made this recipe and it is really amazing!
Is the batter supposed to be cookie dough-like, not runny at all? This was a major fail at our house.
I’m so sorry to hear that. The batter is supposed to be runny. What kind of almond butter do you use? Also did you beat egg whites thoroughly until they become foamy? Do you add the exactly amount of almond milk it says on the recipe?
Can you use gluten free flour or almond flour instead? I cannot have oats.
I’ve never made this recipe with almond or gluten-free flour but I think it would work with gluten-free flour.
