Grain Free Paleo Waffles!

There is nothing like waffles on a Sunday morning! That rich and sweet taste, paired with that fluffy and soft texture, while having a slight crunch on the outside makes for a perfect waffle!

But there is no denying that the typical waffle comes with its negative health impacts. It tends to be a high sugar meal, considering the syrup that is usually pored on top of it, not to mention that the refined wheat flour is also jam packed with refined carbohydrates that are quickly digested into pure sugar, as well as the definite lack of nutrition in a waffle…

Not to fear my waffle loving people out there! There is a better way!

By using alternative flours and syrups, we can quickly reverse the negative health qualities of a typical waffle and make a delicious and nutritious breakfast meal!
