MMMM…. Waffles! These Grain and Gluten Free Waffles are the bomb.
As a little girl,I got SO excited to use waffle makers. It was one of the only things I knew how to make, even though all I did was pour the mix in and wait for the machine to beep. My parents and grandparents always fostered my interest in cooking, so of course one Christmas my parents bought me a waffle maker. On weekends, I’d make a “menu” and try to serve my family breakfast. I may or may not still do this… Especially on holidays! : )
I was suddenly surprised when the texture of these waffles came out exactly like real waffles! Score! The waffles are dense in healthy fats and will surely fill you up. I recommend topping itwiththe toppings above! The top right waffle has coconut whipped cream with fruit!
Your site says Paleo? Are these Paleo? Not exactly, just because every ingredient is Paleo approved, when it comes together as a treat you should handle it like a treat. These are a great option for those who eatgrain-free and miss their beloved waffle breakfast.

Where do the vanilla and maple syrup come into the recipe? Should they be added with the egg yolks and milk?

Monica Bravo says
Just fixed it! I add them when I add the egg whites, but either way should be fine. Thanks for finding this!

Hi! I’m LOVING the idea of waffle ole paleo, but I wanted to ask how many this recipe makes? I’ve got three kids and my husband to feed, so I gotta stave off the mutiny with enough.
Thanks!Reply
Monica Bravo says
Of course!! It makes about 4-6 small waffles

This looks delish! I dont have any almond four. Could I use coconut flour instead?
Reply
Monica Bravo says
You could try but the consistency will be very different! The two flours aren’t really interchangeable, because they make very different textures. If you want to try though, make sure to use much less coconut flour! It thickens much easier than almond.

I prefer almond flour to coconut flour waffles. The last coconut flowers waffles looked great but tasted like dry coconut bark. 🙂

Could I substitute grapeseed oil for coconut oil in this recipe? Thanks.

Have you tried using this batter to make pancakes?
Reply
Monica Bravo says
I have not. I like the pancake recipe from “The Paleo Kitchen- by Juli Bauer”. I think it may be on her blog as well. “Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes”

Can I use Almond meal instead of almond flour?

Sure! The texture may be a bit different but you can definitely try!

Which kind of gluten free flour I could substitute for the almond flour?
Reply
Monica Bravo says
It would change up the recipe, so I’m not really sure! It’s best made with almond flour.

I just made these and they turned out pretty good once I figured out the waffle maker. I’m not sure if they were as fluffy as they could be, because my egg whites were stiff peaks but after a few minutes, they got really watery at the bottom. Did I over beat or not beat enough? They still turned out OK, just wondering if they would have been fluffier if I got the egg whites right.
Thanks!
Reply
Monica Bravo says
Honestly you could’ve not beaten enough. Sometimes I put mine in the mixer to beat if I want it to really form stiff peaks! I hope this helps Stacey!

How many servings does this make and how much is one serving?
Reply
Monica Bravo says
It should make about 4-6 waffles, depending on your waffle maker size.

Do you think these could be frozen and reheated in the toaster? I have to feed a crowd, quickly and was hoping to reheat and turn them into sticks.
Reply
Monica Bravo says
I think they would turn out fine frozen! But I’d give it a try with a test batch 🙂

This waffle recipe is a staple in our home. I typically make 1-2 batches once a week, freeze the leftovers and reheat them in the oven on a busy morning.
Thanks so much for sharing this!

THESE ARE AMAZING!!! Perfect flavor and taste. They remind me of a cross between Dutch pancakes and crepes but in waffle form. SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!! Well done!

Found your recipe when deciding to make for my daughter’s birthday breakfast. They turned out perfect. This recipe is enough to feed to adults one full waffle each or make 5-6 small one which I did. This will be our go to waffle recipe.
