Paleo Waffles

Before I changed my eating habits, I was never really into breakfast. Growing up on cereal and poptarts and eggo waffles, it was embedded into my mind that breakfast was meant to be sweet, not savory. So I didn’t care too much for eggs and bacon and whatnot.

Paleo WafflesBefore I changed my eating habits, I was never really into breakfast. Growing up on cereal and poptarts and eggo waffles, it was embedded into my mind that breakfast was meant to be sweet, not savory. So I didn’t care too much for eggs and bacon and whatnot. And the previously mentioned breakfast junk food made me feel terrible. So when I had the option, I skipped breakfast. If we went out to Ihop or Cracker Barrel, I ordered lunch.

Going paleo pretty much forced me into a new relationship with breakfast. Now we are besties. I kid you not, I go to bed looking forward to my morning bacon. I think I eat more at breakfast than I do at any other meal…which is really how it’s supposed to be. I’ve also changed my idea of what breakfast has to be. You don’t have to eat “breakfast foods” for breakfast. You can eat soup. You can eat leftovers. You can eat a steak!

Let’s be honest. Just because some foods make me feel like crap, doesn’t mean i don’t miss them. Of course, I don’t miss the way they made me feel, but I do dream about buttered waffles and french toast and cinnamon buns every now and then. So I got to work. Now I can travel back to my childhood as I please……minus the stomach pain. My whole family loves these, even my non-paleo husband. And the best news- they are gluten free, grain free, dairy free, and sugar free!

These waffles can be made ahead of time and frozen for future use. Just pop them in the toaster on the lowest setting until warm and crispy!

  1. These are fantastic! Do you have the macros or can you recommend a calculator? I make mine without honey anyway so I should probably figure it out. I have to go back to keto so I need to figure out net carbs for these.

  2. This is the best paleo waffle recipe I have found. Tastes like gluten waffles and have a light texture. Digest well too. I just added cinnamon and twice as much vanilla for extra flavor. I also did 1/2 coconut milk and 1/2 cashew milk. Delicious!!

    1. The waffles also don’t run over the sides of the waffle iron and make a mess.

  3. I love these waffles! They are the best Paleo waffles I have tried. They are light and tasty and don’t run over the sizes of the iron or are so thin they have holes. I do add cinnamon and put 1 tsp of vanilla in them for more flavor. Thank you!

  4. I recently substituted arrowroot powder for the tapioca and only use 1/2 cup. I think it has a better taste and lighter texture.
