This was my first time attempting a berry syrup and I’m thrilled with the results. It was a little difficult to thicken the syrup when it was simmering, but as it cooled it got much thicker. I can think of a million different desserts that would taste good with this, and I definitely plan on experimenting with different flavors. Although, I think I hit a home run with this one. Blackberries are a little sour and with all the honey I added, this syrup definitely has a sweet and sour vibe that I love.

Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Serves: 8 waffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ tsp himalayan sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- ¼ cup of honey
- 3 cups of frozen blackberries
- ¼ cup of water
- ¼ cup of orange juice from 2 cara cara oranges
- ¼ cup of honey (creamed wildflower honey)
Instructions
- Combine blackberries, water, and orange juice in sauce pan. Let it simmer until berries are defrosted.
- Transfer sauce pan mixture to Vitamix and blend on low (1) setting. Add mixture back to saucepan.
- When mixture comes to a simmer, add in honey.
- Then with a sifter add tapioca flour slowly, using a whisk. It clumps together if added too fast.
- Continue to simmer to get syrup to thicken up. Set it aside and turn off heat to get it to thicken up more.
- Mix the rest of the wet ingredients in one bowl and the rest of the dry ingredients in another.
- Then combine bowls with a whisk or hand blender.
- Follow waffle iron directions, as they have different varieties and settings.

VERY CONFUSING RECIPE.
Some problems I have noted:
1) Instructions mention tapioca (tapioca is not in your ingredient list)
2) #6: Mix the “rest” of the wet ingredients? Which ones? There are a few leftover.
3) What is in the waffles? Almond flour, eggs, and what else?
Hope you’re not mad and find this helpful.
I’d love to make this…but currently too confused.
Sorry for the confusion. You can use some tapioca flour to thicken the sauce up by sprinkling it in gradually while it simmers, but I don’t think it made that big of a difference. Just let the sauce cool in the fridge to thicken up, it will be easier with less chance of getting flour clumps. For the waffles just mix almond flour, sea salt, baking soda, eggs, vanilla and almond extract and 1/4 cup of honey together in a bowl. Then add to waffle maker. I prefer to mix wet ingredients separately and dry ingredients separately and combine so everything is mixed evenly throughout batter. The leftover ingredients are for the sauce: 1/4 cups of honey, blackberries, water, and orange juice/oranges. Honey will also thicken the sauce when it cools.
