Cinnamon Waffles 

Cinnamon Waffles with Fruit Sauce

This is a Sunday morning favorite at my house.  We call it Sunday Brunching at Home.  These waffles are grain-free, dairy-free and delicious.  The recipe was adapted from the "Always Hungry?" book. Get your waffle iron ready!  

Waffle Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of garbanzo-fava or garbanzo bean flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt 
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg, separated
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened plain coconut yogurt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat waffle iron. 
  2. Combine the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, yogurt, milk, oil and vanilla. 
  4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.  Batter should be thick.
  5. Beat the egg white with a whisk until it forms soft peaks.  Gently fold the egg white into the batter.
  6. Brush waffle iron with oil or spitz with coconut spray.
  7. Spoon the batter per waffle into the waffle iron.  I use about 3/4 cup on my waffle iron.  
  8. Cook until golden or about 2 minutes.  My waffle iron actually has a handy cooked indicator light!
  9. Serve hot with about 1/3 cup of fruit sauce and garnish with about 1tablespoon of pecans.

Fruit Sauce Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup frozen blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or cherries (I use a combination of all berries for mine.)
  • 1 tablespoon water 
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions:

  1. Place fruit, water and maple syrup in a deep microwavable glass mason jar or deep cup.
  2. Microwave for about 1 minute or until fruit is soft and warm.  You can also cook this on the stove top.
  3. Use an immersion blender to gently puree the berries.
