    Brown Butter Almond Milk Waffles are a simple and delicious breakfast

    The waffles stand alone beautifully because it is packed with the richness of the brown butter and the nutty taste of the almond milk.
    Almond Milk Waffles - Easy Recipe

    Browned butter is also known as beurre noisette in French, which translates into "hazelnut butter". Brown butter is a wonderful way to add depth of flavor into any dish that you are cooking or baking.

    As the butter browns, it starts to take on the flavor and aroma of toasted nuts. Pairing this "hazelnut butter" with the nutty taste of almond milk creates a waffle that carries itself on its own.

    The simple step of browning the butter gives these waffles an extra richness

    Be careful when you are browning the butter so not to burn it. I prefer to use a skillet that has a light-colored interior so I can see the color of the butter as it browns. But you can also try a stainless steel skillet or saucepan.

    Using a dark-colored nonstick pan makes it difficult to judge the color as the butter browns, so you'll have to be extra careful. Stir frequently, and watch the time. It should take no more than 6 minutes on medium to medium-high heat.

    Brown Butter Almond Milk Waffles

    Typically when I make waffles (especially on my lazy Sunday mornings), I just beat the eggs together and chuck all the ingredients into one bowl.

    You might do that too, and you'll agree with me that you can make perfectly tasty waffles without separating the egg whites, beating them into soft peaks, then folding them into the waffle batter at the last step.

    By beating the egg whites separately, then folding them back into the waffle batter, you get almond milk waffles that are lofty inside

    But here, since this recipe is for simple Brown Butter Almond Milk waffles that shine standing alone, you'll thank yourself if you take that extra step to beat the egg whites separately into soft peaks before folding it back into the waffle batter. It aerates the batter a bit more, and creates a waffle that is so lofty on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside.

    With the rich brown butter, nutty almond milk, light and fluffy inside and perfectly crisp exterior, you'll want to use just a touch of maple syrup and keep the toppings simple on this Brown Butter Almond Milk Waffles!

    The almond milk in these waffles gives it an extra nutty taste

    Don't forget the extra pat of butter on top of the waffles though. I really hope you enjoy this waffle recipe for breakfast! It's perfect for the entire family, and kids love them too!

    Waffles made with brown butter and almond milk. Top with berries, powdered sugar and maple syrup for a perfect breakfast or brunch!

    Ingredients

    • 4 tablespoons butter (115 grams)
    • 2 cups almond milk (470 milliliters)
    • 2 eggs - separated
    • 2 tablespoons honey (30 milliliters)
    • 1 teaspoon quality vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour (270 grams)
    • 4 teaspoons baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Instructions

    • In a small saucepan over medium to medium-hight heat, melt the butter and cook, stirring often, until the butter becomes a light brown color, 5-8 minutes. Stir the butter often so it does not stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. Pour into a small bowl and let cool.
    • In a medium bowl, beat together the almond milk, egg yolks, honey and vanilla. Mix in the brown butter.
    • In a separate medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Slowly pour in the almond milk mixture, and mix well.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites using a hand mixer on low speed until soft peaks form.
    • Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter.
    • Heat waffle iron until very hot. Coat waffle iron with nonstick spray and carefully pour or spoon (I use a ½ cup measuring spoon) batter onto the waffle iron, quickly spreading it to cover the surface. The amount of batter you need will depend on your machine.
    • Cook waffles until golden brown and cooked through. See notes below on how to determine when a waffle is done.

    Notes

    To determine if a waffle is done, watch the steam escape from the waffle maker. When the steam becomes very thin and almost stops, the waffle will be ready. Once the steam completely stops, the waffle will be well-done.

      I’ve experimented with several waffle recipes that use a non dairy milk. These were SOOOO good!! The batter seemed a bit wet and I was worried, but they turned out perfect, fluffy and tasty. I did skip coating the waffle iron, but do not skip the step of fluffing you the egg whites, I think that’s what takes it over the top.

      Do you have a suggestion for a flour substitute? I recently found out I have celiac and can not digest gluten.

      The BEST waffles! We used ghee instead of butter as we are avoiding dairy due to sensitivities in my family; and it turned out just perfect! The texture is smooth and the taste offers a blend of all the lovely ingredients that makes this recipe scrumptious!

      Since my little granddaughter and my daughter are lactose intolerant I use a butter substitute smart balance dairy free organic butter. Can I use that instead of real butter? Your recipe sounds lovely and I am looking forward to the waffles Sunday morning. Happy Mother's Day to you. Regards,
      Denise

        Hi Denise, I've never tried making these waffles with dairy free butter substitutes, but I think that it would work since waffles typically can be made with oil. Happy Mother's Day to you too!
