Regardless of what religion you are or aren’t, spiritual or not, it is good to pick a day for relaxation and human connection. I do my best to keep Sundays that day. It is the kind of day where I like to have a slow start and put a little extra effort into our brunch. It usually involves more comfort types of food than I usually eat, and often I end up splurging with something like waffles.
Luckily, there are lots of great recipes out there for waffles. These waffles are heavier than waffles made with wheat flour. Double bonus for me! 1.) I have to eat less to be filled up. 2.) I get to spend less time cooking since I don’t have to make as many! And actually, it is a triple bonus for me, because I really enjoy them and it makes me feel like I am treating myself.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 2 tablespoons of erythritol (such as Swerve)
Instructions
- Pre-heat your waffle iron.
- Place the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until well mixed.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well blended.
- Depending on the size of the waffle iron, add around 1/4 cup of the batter to your waffle iron and close the lid.
- The waffles are done when they stop steaming and they are golden brown.
- Remove and top with your favorite topping! I usually make my own syrup with a 1/4 cup of frozen berries, warmed up in the microwave or saucepan. I sweeten with a bit of erythritol and thicken the syrup with a sprinkle of xanthum gum. Top that off with some fresh whipped cream and you will think you are in heaven!
