Paleo Coconut Waffles. Toppings Required.
It’s Friday. Wonderful, weekend-welcoming, Friday. The day after Thursday. The day before Saturday. The perfect day to workout. The perfect day to watch Fringe (yay!). The perfect day for healthy guilt-less waffles. Or at least a recipe for them.
I’ve made Paleo Waffles before… they were good. But these were better. Bonus points for the toppings, which are not only delicious, they’re required. There’s also a vegan option, because we all need choices in life sometimes.
Dedicated to Friday. Dedicated to workout fuel. Dedicated to Ernie, Coral, Chris, Chris, and whomever at my gym is reading. But probably not Nick since Nick wouldn’t ready silly blogs. Dedicated to waffles.
Paleo Coconut Waffles
[required: peanut butter, blue berries, and Fleur de Sel]
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup protein powder (Life’s Basics Greens Plant Protein- it’s just too good)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- cinnamon, cinnamon, and more cinnamon
Is it weird I was ready to eat the batter before I could get it to the waffle maker? It was that good. Too bad there’s raw eggs… oh but you could make it vegan with 2 flax “eggs”! (2 flax “eggs” = 2 tbsp ground flax seeds + 5 tbsp hot water, soak 3 minutes)
Mix all ingredients together and pour about 1/3 cup batter into a heated waffle maker. Heat until no more steam rises from the waffle maker.
Flavor-enhancing toppings: drizzled peanut butter, Fleur de Sel (big chunks of salt. Mmmmm.), and frozen blueberries (um, ’cause that’s what I had- and I like frozen berries).
On Friday, what could possibly be better than gluten and dairy free, crispy waffles, warm, melty peanut butter, lovely berries of blue, and big savory diamonds of salt? …probably a day off from work, but that’s what the day after Friday is for.
What is your Friday dedicated to?
How do you get ready for the weekend?

I was so excited to try these and bought all the ingredients, but when I started mixing everything together it was obvious there was something wrong. The resulting batter was really dry – almost crumbly. I had to just about triple the amount of liquid to get to a semi-pourable waffle batter consistency. Also, while they looked just fine when I opened up the waffle iron lid, when I tried to take them out, even though they weren’t sticking, the waffles just crumbled into bits. I have no idea what went wrong here….I really wanted to like these 😐
The same exact thing happened to me when I tried to make them.
looks tasty, although I’d probably replace with almond butter as peanut butter is definitely not paleo!
Yum, can’t wait to try these!
these are AMAZING girl!!
These waffles look AMAZING. I seriously need to invest in some coconut flour :D.
Oh my this looks so delicious and tempting! I know someone on the Paleo diet, so I’m going to pass your post on to her too 😀
My Friday was dedicated to exercise, and in the evening relaxation 🙂
YUM! This looks so good 🙂 And it is another use for my coconut flour!!! Yay!!!
Coconut waffles?!?! Those sound craaaazzzy good!
Definitely going to make these. 🙂 How many servings did this make? I was thinking about cutting it in half to make one serving size for myself.
this completely puts my breakfast to shame! im embarrassed to be eating my bagel right now! good thing breakfast is good for any meal of the day in my book!! there is still time to make yummy waffles today !!
wow-great looking waffles.
i always want to buy that coconut flour when i see it, but it’s so dang expensive, i just freeze and talk myself out of it.
one of these days though….for sure.
I haven’t coconut flour… but I have gluten free baking mix! In the mornin’… I’m makin’ WAFFLES!
these paleo pancakes are BEGGING me to make them…. so i think im going to “cave” (get it? CAVE as in paleo cave men) hehe 🙂
Friday is getting caught up on everything that we did not get done and plan out the next week ahead 😉 And maybe get some extra sleep, haha
Waffles look amazing!! I would love some right now!
My Friday is dedicated to getting a good nights sleep. I’m EXHAUSTED. Its only 5:30…can I go to sleep yet? 🙂
Oh girl you are onto something BIG!! I haven’t had waffles in so, so long:(
I need to try the coconut flour that’s one flour I haven’t tried yet.

Perfection on both the waffle and toppings arenas… nice work! I think I prefer frozen blueberries to their nonfrozen counterparts.
Today’s friday is dedicated to catching up on life and studying. Then saturday I will go out 😉
Those waffles are bomb. I need a light box.
