Waffles....... coconut flour waffles that is

coconut waffles

It's Sunday morning and you've got a little extra time....right? Well, maybe it's Monday and you've got a little extra time, whatever it may be, make some time for these gluten free waffles, made with coconut flour. Now they aren't paleo because they have agave in them, but they sure are tasty and did I say gluten free? This recipe is adapted from The Good Eatah's Blog- check it out, she's got some good stuff. I had tried few recipes with coconut four but decided it was time to bring in some professionals. She does all gluten and casein free cooking. Coconut flour absorbs A LOT of moisture, so you have to work with it differently than regular flour. Our friend over at Azukar Organics make some great products and that's what I used to make these breakfast treats! Give them a try and let me know what you think. Remember, just one more day until the Paleo challenge starts!

coconut oil and flour!

4 tablespoons melted Azukar Organics coconut oil
6 eggs
1/3 cup raw agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup Azukar Organics coconut flour

Get out your blender, you have one don't you? Well if not- get ready for some heavy duty mixing!!!
Put six eggs and melted coconut oil in and mix till smooth. Next add the agave, salt and baking powder until thoroughly combined. Lastly add the coconut flour and mix until completely combined without any lumps. Remember the moisture wicking properties I mentioned earlier, this is when it happens. Let batter sit about 5 minutes before making waffles, during this time grease up your waffle iron. I didn't the first time and it was a MESS!! Enjoy your breakfast, I served them with strawberries and sprinkled coconut on top. Don't forget to add your protein too, some eggs or sausage will do nicely.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

  1. It's easy to make it Paleo - just use coconut sugar! (At least I think that would make it Paleo, right?) :) It has GI in 30-40s and is mostly sucrose, as opposed to agave, which is fructose.

    I first read about it on MDA: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-definitive-guide-to-sugar/ and then found it at Santa Monica Co-Op. You can also buy it online.

    It tastes REALLY delicious, by the way!
