So the latest staple in the Coatney household – Waffles.  They can do anything.  Except the dishes – that would be AWESOME.  But seriously – they are super versatile.  I often make a huge batch on Sundays – enough for a whole week of breakfast or a before dinner snack 😉 Easy for grab and go.  Perfect for a sandwich.  Perfect to hold up a delicious piece of fried chicken.  AND OF COURSE – perfect to have on a Saturday morning with the ones you love – all drizzled with maple syrup or honey! And if you’re like me – you love-a some fruit on top! Aww waffles…Champions. So – here are my two FAVORITE ways to have waffles – and following there is a soooooo easy and quick waffle recipe. 🙂  Get those waffle irons heatin folks!

Fresh Strawberry and Coconut Waffles

These are super simple, of course.  Simply top a waffle or two (or three) with fresh cut strawberries and coconut flakes.

I love to add a dab of coconut oil and drizzle a bit of maple syrup on top, as well.  And of course – any fruit can be placed on waffles!

Breakfast Waffle Sandwich

Optional fillings:

• Fried eggs
• Bacon
• Sausage
• Avocado or guacamole
• Mayo
• Dijon Mustard
• Salt and Pepper

Prepare your fillings – I love just bacon and a fried egg on mine!

Once the fillings are about ready – Toast two waffles (I toast mine with a bit of coconut oil in our oven on broil) until beginning to crisp – 2-3 minutes.

Assemble! Devour 🙂

Paleo Waffles

Prep: 5 min          Cook: 8-10 min          Serves: 2-3 (Recipe easily doubled) Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 3/4 cup coconut/almond/dairy milk
• 1 tbsp coconut oil, palm shortening, or butter
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• Sprinkle of sea salt
• Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: 1-2 tbsp honey

Directions:

1. Turn your waffle maker on – read the instructions before using if you haven’t!  Know your waffle maker – and get to know it better by making lots of waffles.
2. Put all of the ingredients in a blender (or stir by hand for a little bit of exercise).  Add the honey and vanilla if you want a sweet waffle (ideal for breakfast or brunch).
3. Now – cook ’em! Make sure to grease with coconut oil/ghee in between each round. For my little waffle maker – which makes two normal size square waffles – these waffles are normally done in 8-10 minutes.
4. Now serve how ya like it! Below are my favorite ways.  I highly recommend always adding a bit of melted coconut oil or ghee on top! Just wonderful any way you have them.
