If I was naming a software I would have to name this recipe “ Crispy Paleo Waffles 10.0”. That’s about how many batches of soft, soggy, gooey, or rubbery waffles I had to eat before I came up with this crispy waffle recipe.
The “caramel” sauce is addictive, in spite of being made with coconut butter, it doesn’t really taste like coconut. I also use it as a warm apple or fruit dip, but it is hard to resist eating it with just a spoon.
You can make your own coconut butter by putting unsweetened shredded coconut in a blender with a dash of coconut oil and blending it until creamy, while scraping the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula as needed. The process may take up to 20 minutes of blending and it isn’t always as smooth as the store-bought, so I personally prefer to buy mine.

Ingredients:
For the waffles:
2/3 cup of tapioca flour
½ a cup of almond flour
2 tablespoons of coconut flour
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of almond milk or water
4 large eggs
4 pitted dates
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
½ teaspoons of baking soda
For the sauce:
¼ cup of coconut butter (coconut cream concentrate)
½ cup of maple syrup
Preparation:
- Set all the ingredients for the waffles in a blender and blend until smooth
- Let the batter stand for 3-4 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb some moisture
- Pour this batter in a pre-heated waffle maker and follow manufacturer’s directions.
- For crispier waffles start cooking them at low/medium and once the batter sets, set the waffle maker to high or transfer waffles to a toaster and continue to cook until light golden.
- In a small sauce pan gently warm the coconut butter until melted, add the maple syrup and whisk until well combined and pour over the waffles
- Serve immediately.

can the almond flour be substituted for another or the other flours increased to replace.

it can but you will have to play around with the amounts of wet ingredients until you get the right consistency.

Made these tonight with some substitutions due not having all the ingredients but really craving waffles and they were fantastic. I subbed chestnut flour for almond flour and 1.5 tablespoons of maple syrup for dates. I did find the batter to be really thick so I added approximately 2 additional tablespoons of water.

Great to hear. Don’t forget that you can make a large batch and freeze them,then you can just pop them in the toaster straight from the freezer
