Blueberry Coconut Waffles – Low Carb and Gluten-Free

Low Carb Coconut Flour WafflesFor my second column on Easy Eats Magazine, I decided to tackle breakfast.  And I wanted it to be something the whole family would enjoy, which meant going gluten-free AND low carb.  We all love waffles, and they always feel like a treat.  Plus the leftovers are easy to freeze for future breakfasts. 

My kids are creatures of habit.  Left to their own devices, they would eat the same thing for breakfast, day in and day out.  For my son, it would be all manners of cereal.  For my two daughters, it would be toast with peanut butter.  Day in and day out.  I am up against some time-honored breakfast foods if I am trying to get them to be more gluten-free.  I suppose I could simply go out and buy gluten-free bread and gluten-free cereal to replace the conventional versions, but where’s the fun in that?  I like a challenge, and I like enticing them away from their gluten-filled favorites with breakfast items that seem like special treats, but are actually much healthier than any breads or cereals.  If I can sneak some extra nutrients in there, more power to me.

Low Carb Waffle Recipe

My children are equally predictable on the rare occasion that we go out for breakfast.  Their choice almost inevitably falls to either pancakes (preferably Mickey Mouse shaped) or waffles, with a side of bacon.  The bacon I don’t mind, but now that I understand the dangers of a sugar- and gluten-filled diet, I can’t help but shudder inwardly at those heavy rounds of fried flour.  I remember how, as a kid, I thought pancakes and waffles the ultimate in breakfast food, but I always felt uncomfortably full after eating them.  Given that going out for breakfast is a special thing, I don’t override their choices.  But I do take inspiration from the fact that they love pancakes and waffles so much.

 

Gluten Free Waffle Recipe

 

This recipe and article originally appeared on Easy Eats Gluten Free Magazine. However, the magazine appears to be defunct and as a courtesy to you, I have republished the recipe here. I am no longer exactly sure how many servings the recipe made, so 6 to 8 is an estimate.

    Tiffany would go for pancakes if I make her every day, but mostly she gets oatmeal and fruit for breakfast. Give me a couple more month until she can take decisions all my herself. Not looking forward to all of them 🙂
    Great breakfast choice Carolyn!

      I have a recipe for waffles that uses coconut flour only, and a ton of eggs and butter. They taste good, but tend to be dry. THESE I want to try–tomorrow for Sunday breakfast! And, if they are half as awesome as they look, they will replace the coconut flour ones on Christmas morning.

      I’ve use other recipes of yours, but somehow missed this one. THANK YOU!

          Didn’t get them made that Sunday; made them yesterday for a post Thanksgiving breakfast treat before the week o’ leftovers.

          They are fabulous! Light, tender and delicious, everything I expect from a waffle. The only change I made was to NOT oil the waffle iron, as it’s non-stick, and I learned from destroying my previous non-stick waffle iron that adding grease eventually gums it up so much that you can no longer open it when the waffles are done!

          These will definitely be in rotation, especially for Christmas morning.

    Your recipe was the first that came up when I searched low carb blueberry waffles. I haven’t been baking low carb/paleo for quite some time but wanted to try something different. My mom gave me her OLD waffle iron which my ten year old son was more than excited about using (his father makes him chickpea flour waffles often). And since I have 5 quarts of freshly picked blueberries in my fridge, I was pretty excited too…and nervous because I NEVER make waffles. Well…they turned out fantastic. My son loved them! I’ve made plenty of paleo pancakes in my day and am usually frustrated/disappointed in the outcome (and the process, too), but the waffles!! Wow! Who needs pancakes?? 😉

    These look delicious! Just wondering if anyone had had luck using a cast iron waffle maker w your low carb waffle recipes. Trying not to use nonstick Teflon, etc. any issues w sticking w cast iron? Random question, I know, but I haven’t had much luck w my cast iron waffle maker and a Keto waffle yet so looking for help!

      Sounds to me like your waffle iron needs to be seasoned more to make it truly non stick.
