Waffles with Strawberry Sauce

February 6, 2020 By lovecheflaura Leave a Comment

Grain-Free Waffles with Strawberry Sauce are crispy on the outside and fluffy and airy on the inside! Top them off with an easy to make strawberry sauce and breakfast is served! Or maybe dinner, no ones judging.

If you don't want to make the strawberry sauce, here are some of my other favorite waffle toppings:

  • Sliced bananas with an almond butter drizzle
  • Fresh berries with sprinkled hemp seeds
  • Dairy-free yogurt and fruit
  • Coconut whipped cream
  • And of course, plain old maple syrup baby!

A couples notes about Grain-Free Waffles:

Let's talk about egg whites:

Okay. So I make these waffles two ways: whipping the egg whites and adding the whole egg to the batter. The waffles still turn out really really good if you don't whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. But they will be slightly more dense. If you don't have an electric mixer, don't want to whisk egg whites by hand, or just want to save a little time, you can skip this step and add the egg right to the wet ingredients. I do highly recommend whipping them though. It makes the waffles light and airy!

Let's talk about the electronic waffle maker:

I put my electronic waffle maker on a medium-high setting. It has a timer to tell me when the waffle is done but I have noticed it's not always accurate. Because of this, I recommend using the touch test to check if your waffle is cooked through rather than the built in timer. What you want your waffle to look like: golden brown. What you want your waffle to feel like: crispy on the outside and slightly bounces back to the touch. This is a sign that the waffle is crispy enough on the outside but fluffy on the inside.

Grain-free Waffles with Strawberry Sauce

Grain-free Waffles with Strawberry Sauce are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside!
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time5 mins
Total Time10 mins
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Servings: 1 waffle

Ingredients

For the waffle:

  • 1 egg, separated
  • 2 tbsp ghee or coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup nut milk
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp coconut flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca starch
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the strawberry sauce:

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 ½ tsp tapioca starch
  • 1 ½ tsp water
  • 1-2 tsp honey
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

For the waffle:

  • Turn on your electric waffle maker and let it warm up while you make the waffle batter
  • Separate the egg yolk from the white. Add the yolk to a medium sized bowl. Add the egg white to another medium sized bowl or to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip the egg white to stiff peaks. I recommend using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer if possible. Although you can whip an egg white to stiff peaks with just a whisk, it can take some time and effort
  • To the bowl with the egg yolk, add the nut milk, maple syrup, and mix until combined
  • Add the coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt and the melted ghee or coconut oil to the liquid mixture. Mix thoroughly. The batter will start to thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the liquid
  • Once the batter is mixed, add the whipped egg whites to the batter and gently fold until incorporated
  • Once the batter is done, pour into the center of the waffle maker and gently spread out. Close the waffle maker and allow to cook, about three minutes
  • The waffle is cooked and ready to eat once it is crispy brown on the outside and slightly bounces back to the touch

For the strawberry sauce:

  • In a small sauce pot, add the strawberries and the ¼ cup water. Bring to a low simmer. With a spoon or spatula, gently break up or smash the strawberries in the pan
  • Once the strawberries are cooked down and are softened, add the honey and vanilla extract. Stir to combine
  • In a small dish, combine the tapioca starch and the 1 ½ tsp water. Slowly pour into the simmering strawberries and mix
  • The strawberry mixture will start to thicken within a few seconds
  • Once cooked and thickened, pour on top of a waffle and enjoy!

I went dairy-free almost 7 years ago. Nut milk suc I went dairy-free almost 7 years ago. Nut milk such as almond and coconut quickly became my go-to for coffee creamer, smoothie bases, etc... What I didn't really think about when it came to nut milk was what was in them.⁠
⁠
It's nearly impossible nowadays to find a nut or seed-based dairy-free milk without added preservatives, sugar, and stabilizers. Stabilizers such as guar gum, gum arabic, and carrageenan wreck havoc on your gut. If you don't have time to make your own, I highly recommend @malk The only ingredient in their products is the nut they are making milk out of. And those nuts are organic! Added bonus! So if you don't want to use my 2- 2-minute nut milk hack, try and buy your nut milk as cleans s possible.⁠
⁠
Grab the recipe for this 2-Minute Almond Milk through the link in my profile! And yes, this hack works for all kinds of nuts and seeds 🙃⁠
⁠
⁠One skillet Za'atar Chicken with Grain-free Orz ⁠One skillet Za'atar Chicken with Grain-free Orzo and Herbed Tahini is the most amazing weeknight dinner! This dish is full of za'atar spice, lemon, and garlic and drizzled with zesty herbed tahini dressing. It is gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and ready in under an hour 😍! ⁠

I have really been loving my smoothies lately. Smoothies are a great way to get a bunch of greens into your diet. Just add a few handfuls of spinach or another green and blend away 🌿!⁠
⁠⁠
This Mint Smoothie is a McDonald's Shamrock Shake copycat, but a whole lot healthier. It is so minty and refreshing! Top it off with some raw cacao nibs for a mint chip kind of vibe 🤩! ⁠

✨ COOKIES & CREAM MILKSHAKE ✨⁠ ⁠ I know I' ✨ COOKIES & CREAM MILKSHAKE ✨⁠
⁠
I know I'm posting this well before lunch, but I wanted to give you lots of time to go to the grocery store for tonight's dessert 😂⁠
⁠
I am all about indulging in dessert once in a while. I mean, I used to be a pastry chef. I love my sweet treats! But if you do, make it a little bit more tasty and a lot more healthy. ⁠
⁠
Cookies and Cream Milkshake has decadent cookies blended with either homemade vegan vanilla ice cream (or your favorite store-bought ice cream for an even easier recipe!). This milkshake is similar to an Oreo milkshake, but it's vegan, dairy-free, and doesn't contain all the questionable ingredients that are in an Oreo cookie 😍⁠

⁠
Freshly baked bagels are one of my favorite things Freshly baked bagels are one of my favorite things in the world 🤩! Bagels are not easy to make. They require making the dough, rising the dough, shaping the dough, boiling the dough, topping the dough with your favorite toppings, and then finally baking the dough. This is a common reason bagels are not made at home.⁠
⁠
Thankfully, this recipe has only 6 ingredients and doesn't require rising or boiling! I mean, we all need some easy AND delicious recipes in our lives! And before you ask, yes, these bagels are also nut-free!⁠
⁠
When we start to dive into paleo baking, one of the most common baking flours is almond flour. Unfortunately, a lot of people avoid nuts for allergies or other reasons. This recipe uses two paleo-compliant flours, tapioca starch, and coconut flour which are both nut-free 🙌🏼! Thank the breakfast Gods! ⁠

All this sunny and warm weather in Northern Michig All this sunny and warm weather in Northern Michigan has got me excited for summer ☀️!! I may have to bust out the grill and make some Grilled Mango Lime Chicken because you know, 40 degrees and sunny feels like 80 degrees and sunny in February 🤣 ⁠Anyone else ready for summer?⁠

Traditional almond milk and other nut milk are mad Traditional almond milk and other nut milk are made by blending roasted or soaked nuts in water and then straining the liquid. This 2-Minute Almond Milk uses ground almond butter (my favorite is from @sunandswellfoods) blended with water for quick and easy homemade nut milk that has no added oils, preservatives, or stabilizers. Yay for a happy tummy 🤗!⁠
⁠
This recipe is incredibly easy! Blend all the ingredients on medium for about two minutes. The almond milk will go from a tan color to beige and almost white when it's ready. Once blended, pour into a large glass container such as a pitcher with a lid and store it in the fridge for up to three days 🙌🏼!⁠
⁠
If you're not an almond fan, don't worry! The options for making fresh homemade nut milk from nut butter are endless. Try the recipe with cashew butter, hazelnut butter, or even sunflower butter for a nut-free option ✨⁠

I’m just going to say it and get it out of the w I’m just going to say it and get it out of the way: LUMPY BONE BROTH IS NORMAL! I just needed to say it before we continue 😂⁠
⁠
As I said, thick and lumpy broth is normal! It means you made a gut-healing and highly nutritious liquid that you can now use in all sorts of dishes. Lumpy and thick means lots of collagen and protein!⁠ ⁠
⁠
Making your own chicken bone broth at home is not only incredibly easy, but it’s also less expensive and healthier. Why would I want to buy store-bought chicken broth, chicken stock, or chicken bone broth? Depending on the brand, there can be added cane sugar and natural chicken flavor. What? Isn’t what I am buying already chicken-flavored? Why do I need more flavor? Also, high-quality bone broth is expensive! Like 12 bucks for 2-3 cups expensive! Making your own bone broth at home is easy, delicious, and inexpensive. ⁠
