Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup sliced raw almonds
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups low-fat buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick )
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

Spread the sliced almonds on a cookie sheet, and toast 325 degrees for about 5 minutes, stirring once, until they begin to get golden. Remove and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and almond extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and give it a few quick whisks just until it's all incorporated.
Heat your waffle iron and brush with a little vegetable oil. Pour batter into the waffle iron according to the instructions for your particular iron. Ours takes just under a half cup of batter per waffle.
Cook for a shorter time for softer waffles, longer if you like waffles with a nice little crunch.
Top with butter and maple syrup and sprinkled with a few roasted, sliced almonds. And enjoy!
