GF Chocolate Waffles



By Coach Maria - Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert

In this household, pancakes play second fiddle to waffles.  Something about waffles in the morning that we love, most especially on a lazy Sunday morning (because you shouldn't rush through a waffles-for-breakfast morning).

They are easy to mix up and easier to cook up, since the waffle iron takes all the guess work out of the cooking time.

These waffles are not super sweet, which I personally like, but if your palate leans more towards the sweet side, a drizzle of pure maple syrup will do the trick.  Other optional toppings include ghee, fresh berries (or puréed and mixed with a bit of syrup or honey), or even drizzled with almond butter that was whirled in the food processor with a bit of maple syrup...mmmm.

Ingredients
4 servings

 1/2 c cacao powder
3/4 c almond flour
1/4 c tapioca flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 c unsweetened nut or coconut milk
2 Tblsp coconut oil, melted
2 Tblsp raw honey
2 eggs

Preheat waffle iron.
Mix all ingredients and stir until just combined.
Cook.
Done.
