Prep Time 30 mins

Equipment

  • Stand mixer or bowl & whisk
  • Waffle iron

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Bob’s Red Mill Coconut Flour
  • 1 tbsp Chicory Root Sweetener Just Like Sugar or other granulated natural sweetener (I prefer the baking/blue bag but at the moment it is more expensive)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or pink salt
  • 1/2 tsp gluten free baking powder I make my own: 2:1 ratio of cream of tartar to baking soda
  • 4 eggs separated (yolks in one bowl, whites in a medium sized bowl)
  • 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk* hemp milk, or milk kefir (for nut free) OR almond or cashew milk if you can handle them.
  • 1 tsp vanilla or maple extract
  • 2 tbsp healthy fat: butter flavored coconut oil coconut oil, avocado oil, ghee or grass fed butter, depending on diet and taste buds.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your nonstick waffle iron.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Separate egg whites from yolks and whip the whites in a medium sized bowl until stiff peaks form. Like with Meringue. *
  • Place yolks, milk of choice, and healthy fat of choice (must be either in liquid form or melted down to liquid form) together with vanilla or maple essence in a bowl and whisk together. *for a vegan option you could make 2 blended flax or chia eggs or use ground chia for your egg… let me know how it goes if you try it!)
  • Pour your mixed wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix until you have a thick batter.
  • Incorporate your egg white meringue material (this is what gives the waffles the rise and fluff) and fold it into the batter until smooth.
  • Spray the waffle iron with a bit of avocado oil because it helps keep the waffles from sticking and it has the highest smoke point of all the oil and smoked/burned oils are toxic oils. (I put my oils in sally’s organics bottles because I’m not a fan of emulsifiers. Some oils take a little water or vinegar as a natural emulsifier. I’ll use this if the spray is more of a stream.)
  • I pour about 3/4 cup into our waffle iron but use your judgement. It took about a minute in ours to cook. If you try to pull up the lid and it holds, give it another 15-20 seconds before trying again.
  • Serve with healthy toppings of choice! These can be separated and frozen to be used for toaster waffles.

Notes

*I have not tried it yet but for a vegan option you could use chickpea water and whip it in a mixer until you get the same consistency.
*I prefer Aroy-D because it is BPA free. BPA interferes with your thyroid amongst other things which will raise your insulin and defeat any efforts to lose weight and get healthy.
