Paleo Banana Waffles

These scored major points in our family!  In fact, they didn't even need maple syrup...a legitimate sweetener in the Paleo world.  And because they're made with bananas, they were super sweet.  I would guess that each 3" square waffle (our batch made 10) would contain about 20g carbs, not a small amount!  I'd have to take one unit of Humalog just to cover that, and probably two if I put the berries on top that the family did!

From this blog came the recipe to beat out any other waffle recipe.  I really think we've found our one, unless I am willing to make up my own that's more low-carb.  That's possible.  :)

I made a double-batch and made enough for later this week.  Score!!!


Paleo Banana Waffles (makes 5 3x3" square waffles)3 Tblsp coconut flour
3 Tblsp almond or other nut flour
1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 ripe bananas, mashed
3 eggs
1 Tblsp coconut oil or clarified butter, melted

Pre-heat waffle iron. Mash the bananas in a medium sized bowl. Add the eggs and melted coconut oil and mix. Stir in the almond flour and cinnamon. Sift the remaining ingredients: coconut flour, baking powder and baking soda and stir gently to remove any lumps. Add the batter to the waffle iron and cook until it stops steaming or the waffle iron lid can be opened without pulling the waffle apart.

We like to eat these topped with the Costco triple berry mix and homemade whipped cream. They're equally good slathered in butter and maple syrup, if you're into that sort of thing.
