Refined Sugarfree Waffles – Breakfast, Dessert or Snack

Hey guys,

my favourite sweet breakfast food is and probably always will be pancakes. Waffles are a close second though. I mean, if there is one kitchen gadget every student or actually every household should own, it’s a waffle iron! Why, because you can waffle almost anything 😀

If you have some spare time just look through all the funny videos on youtube 🙂

When I eat ‘less healthy’ foods, I always try to modify the ingredients to make them healthy. It’s as easy as swapping white flour to a more nutrient dense one! I love buckwheat flour, because it already has a natural nutty taste, is nutritious and binds easily while being gluten-free.

For sweetness, I choose to use fruits like ripe bananas, homemade applesauce (or store-bought without added sugars or dates). Or coconut/date syrup over maple syrup or honey as a liquid sweetener.

You really do not need to exclude your favourite foods. And in the end, everything is better consumed in moderation as opposed to deprivation!

Now without further ado: my simple waffle recipe!

Refined Sugarfree Waffles (Vegan)

Prep Time

5 mins

Cook Time

10 mins

Total Time

15 mins

 

Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
• 2 Tbs coconut flour
• 1/2 ripe banana
• pinch cinnamon
• pinch vanilla
• little under 1/2 cup (plantbased) milk. I use coconut or almond milk.
• coconut oil, for waffleing (is that a word? :D)
• fruits of choice
• (soy) ice-cream (vanilla) optional
• inulin (feeds healthy gut bacteria)

Instructions

1. Preheat your waffle iron.

2. Mash the banana with a fork, separately. 

3. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix.

4. Add in the banana and (plantbased) milk (measure out a little under 1/2 cup). Mix well. The dough should be quite thick and formable unlike other waffle doughs.

5. Coat the waffle iron with some coconut oil and put a heaping Tbs of dough  (belgian waffle) or two heaping Tbs (heartshaped big waffle) on the iron.

6. Let them cook for at least 5 minutes. So a little longer then your waffle iron indicates. They need more time to crisp up!

7. Top with some ice-cream, inulin and/or fruits. Or syrup, whatever your heart desires! 

These waffles are super versatile. You can add in cocoa or other spices to change things up.

This time I chose donut peaches and soy ice-cream as toppings. I ALWAYS use inulin to promote a healthy microbiome. Inulin tastes sweet so WIN-WIN!

I am all about good quality when it comes to nutrition. That’s why I decided to show you which products I personally use or recommend (due to market availability). I, by no means, want to pressure you into buying these. But I research thoroughly where and how the products were made, if the price is adequate for the quality etc. Of course, often there is more than one great product. Then I usually buy the cheapest out of them 😀

1. If you are a cinnamon lover like me, I would recommend this brand:
   Ceylon Cinnamon. For US.
   Ceylon Cinnamon. For EU. It’s even from Madagascar, the country with the best vanilla, cinnamon and pepper in the world 🙂
2. Buckwheat Flour. For US. Gluten free, nutty, nutritious.
   Buckwheat Flour. For EU.
3. Coconut Flour. For US. Low fat, high fiber.
   Coconut Flour. For EU.
4. Inulin. For US. Prebiotic boost for your microbiome.
   Inulin. For EU.
