Last Christmas we bought a nice Belgium waffle maker. We experimented with a number of recipes to make the perfect waffle. In September of 2011 I decided to go grain-free based on a number of articles I read that caused me to believe the grains that we are now eating are no longer healthy. I found this Paleo recipe for a grain-free waffle. The texture is a little spongy because of the coconut flour used, but it fills a need for waffles on a Sunday morning. We topped our waffles with fresh cut up strawberries and a little powdered sugar.
Ingredients:
2 whole eggs
1 Tbsp coconut milk
1 tsp melted coconut oil
1 and 1/2 Tbsp sifted coconut flour
1 Tbsp xylitol or pinch of stevia
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/16 sea salt
dash grain-free baking powder
Grease your waffles iron. Let it warm up for about 3 minutes.
Whisk together the eggs, coconut milk and melted oil or butter in a small bowl.
Sift all the dry ingredients in the liquid ingredients and whisk slowly and lightly until smooth.
After the waffle iron is warm, pour your batter into the center of the waffle iron and spread the batter out slightly. No need to spread all the way. Press the other half of the waffle iron down gently and let cook for 4-5 minutes
Carefully move a small spatula underneath the waffle to loosen. Serve with your favorite topping.
