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!
