Whole Food, Nut Free, Dairy Free, Crisp Yet Chewy Waffles

Who doesn’t love a hot, comforting waffle smothered with butter (or ghee) in my case and real maple syrup on the weekend? Waffles are such a wonderfully comforting breakfast that leaves you satisfied for a long time. They’re even better when they are made with premium, whole food ingredients that make you feel nourished and energetic.

Every month or six weeks or so we like to bake a big breakfast on a Saturday and enjoy it together in a leisurely way. There’s nothing like smelling waffles baking and anticipating how delicious they are going to be. These restful days, we actually have the waffles for more of a brunch because we have slept in of course! My boys like to help mix and measure and they love to put the plethora of toppings we use on the table. You’ll find, real honest to goodness organic butter, organic ghee, homemade apple butter or applesauce from our apples, raw local honey, nut butter, real maple syrup and maybe even some delectable homemade apricot sauce in the spread. There’s no shortage of ways to eat waffles in our household. When we are feeling really fancy we’ll top them with nitrate free, pastured bacon! Oh yeah. Now I’m hungry!

I developed this recipe to make A LOT. I live with big eaters and if I only served them one waffle each it would be a complete tragedy. Actually, to be honest, I am a big eater too and I eat more than one waffle at breakfast. I am careful in what toppings I use to regulate my unrefined sugar intake though. You can also make an extra batch of these and freeze them. Then, when you are ready to use them, just pop one in the toaster or under the broiler for a minute or so and you’ll be ready for breakfast.
