Can you believe it’s the end of September already? It’s particularly hard to believe around these parts because the majority of this month has been quite hot. Summer-like temperatures and little to no rain have many of us in the Pacific Northwest dying for the colder temperatures. Really, we deserve a little cooling off period after the scorching heat we had in August. But of course, once the cold and rain come around, we will likely be complaining about that too. There’s just no pleasing us!
I do love the fall for so many reasons, even if it is rainy. The kids go back to school, life settles into a more regular routine, and we get to shake up our wardrobe, exchanging shorts and flip flops for jeans and boots. It’s also the start of comfort food season, where we can indulge in soups and heavier foods in an effort to keep the chilly weather at bay. But with comfort season also comes…cold and flu season. With three school-age kids in the house, I can’t say I ever look forward to that part of it!
We are pretty healthy, hardy folk, though. We get our share of the sniffles but we are rarely laid low by serious illness (quick, where’s the wood? I need to knock in it!!!). Some of that is due to genetics and good hygiene, but I like to take at least a little credit for it, and say that some of it is because of the healthful, wholesome low carb diet I feed my family.
One of the weapons in my healthy food arsenal is the O Organics line from Safeway. It’s quite an extensive line of products and I am always impressed by the quality and the value, be it the fresh produce or the canned goods or the meats and dairy products. It’s so reasonably priced, you aren’t breaking the bank to make the organic choice.
And I love nothing more than to send my kids off to school on a chilly fall day with tummies full of a healthy, hearty low carb breakfast. When I was a kid, toast with peanut butter and jam was one of my favourite breakfasts, so I decided to have a little fun with that theme. These waffles are easy to whip up in your blender, and the raspberry syrup is like spreading jam on your toast, without all the added sugars!
O Organics are exclusive to the Albertsons Companies family of stores. I feel lucky to have several Safeway stores and an Albertson’s within a few miles of my house, so I can grab what I need for healthy meals. But you can find them in your area at Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets, Market Street, Albertsons Market and Carrs/Safeway.
And Safeway has all the things you need to keep your family healthy this cold and flu season!

Ingredients
Raspberry Syrup
- 3/4 cup O Organics frozen raspberries
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup powdered swerve sweetener OR 1/4 tsp monk fruit extract
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
Waffles
- 4 large O Organics eggs
- 1 cup O Organics unsweetened almond milk
- 2/3 cup O Organics old fashioned creamy peanut butter
- 6 tbsp Swerve Sweetener or other sugar substitute
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Raspberry Syurp:
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the berries and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer 5 minutes. Mash berries with a wooden spoon.
-
Stir in the sweetener until well combined. Sprinkle the surface with xanthan gum and whisk briskly to combine. Set aside.
Blender Pancakes:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, almond milk, peanut butter and sweetener. Blend until smooth.
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract and salt and blend again until smooth.
- Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into each section of the waffle iron (if your waffle iron is round or is not very deep, you will need less batter for each section). Spread the batter to the edges and close the lid.
- Cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove the waffles and repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve with your favorite low carb syrup or with the Raspberry Syrup.

These look awesome. Since there are only 2 of us would they freeze ok, how to wrap them and then reheat? Tks
Yes, these reheat very well!
These waffles have stolen my heart! When I make waffles, I typically fold them up like a taco/sandwich, so the thought of doing this with some tasty jam and peanut butter is making me drool. Love that they’re made in a blender!
You’re a genius… as usual!
These look wonderful! … Question: Do you think I could sub half the almond flour for coconut if I increase a bit of egg? I (unfortunately) can’t tolerate almond flour as well, even in moderate quantities.
Thanks!
yes, I think you could play around with that. YOu’d probably need 6 eggs and only 1/2 cup coconut flour. Or do no almond flour but 1 cup coconut.
Thank you!
Where can I get healthy low carb sugar free PEANUT BUTTER
Safeway. Their Organic Old Fashioned is completely sugar free.
I officially need to invest in a waffle iron. Is there a brand/model you would recommend? These look so delicious…
Cuisinart makes good waffle makers. My one, Calphalon…they not longer make it.
Thank you, dear!
I don’t have a waffle maker. Could I just make pancakes out of this batter? And any other waffle batter!
Yep, pancakes would work too!
Do you happen to know the nutritional facts for JUST the waffles, without the rasp. syrup? It’s cheaper for me to make just the waffle and use the sugar-free syrup I already have.
This recipe came off of my iron in a billion pieces. I’m waiting for the iron to cool so I can clean it before trying again… I have so much batter left. I’m hoping if I grease it a ton it might work out. Any ideas on what to do with the remainders of my first batch? it’s basically crumbs. Seems too sweet for something like meatloaf.
Not really sure what happened. My waffle iron needs no greasing at all and these came off easily. But different waffle irons are, of course, very different.
Is it possible to use cream instead of almond milk?
