Course Breakfast
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4 waffles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons arrowroot or tapioca flour (starch)
  • 2 Tablespoons xylitol or coconut sugar if Candida is not an issue
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 and 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 Tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 2 eggs*
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 dropper full liquid stevia about 20 drops
  • 1 cup fresh, organic blueberries
  • Coconut or olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron.
  2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, arrowroot, xylitol, baking powder and sea salt until well combined and free of lumps.  Zest the lemon into the bowl by grating the entire yellow surface layer, making sure not to grate into the white rind, which is bitter.  Whisk zest into the dry mixture.

  3. In a separate smaller bowl, juice the lemon.  Add the coconut milk, oil, eggs, lemon juice and liquid stevia. Whisk this all together.

  4. Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until completely combined. Gently fold the blueberries into the mixture.

  5. For each waffle, generously spray the heated waffle iron surface with coconut oil spray.  Pour batter, about 1/2 heaping cup at a time, into the center of the waffle iron and cook according to your iron’s instructions. When each waffle is done, remove it from the iron (I like to use a fork to carefully pry the waffle out of the iron and transfer with a spatula).

  6. Enjoy immediately served with syrup of choice and fresh berries.
