Eggo Waffles seem like a harmless breakfast to serve to your children right? NOPE! Throw them out of your freezer!
Ingredients: Enriched Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate [Vitamin B1]Riboflavin [Vitamin B2]Folic Acid)Water, Vegetable Oil with TBHQ and Citric Acid for Freshness (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Soybean Oil, Palm Oil, and/or Palm Kernel Oil)Eggs, Buttermilk, Leavening (Baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Monocalcium Phosphate)Sugar, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Soy Lecithin, Niacinamide, Reduced Iron, Vitamin A Palmitate, Thiamin Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1)Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6)Vitamin B12.
My suggestion is to make a triple batch of these and keep in your freezer for an easy breakfast. Just pop one in the toaster like you would the chemical-filled Eggo Waffle.
1 cup almond flour OR freshly ground flaxseeds
1 cup JAY ROBB vanilla egg white or whey protein
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 TBS aluminum free baking powder
1 cup vanilla almond milk
2 eggs
4 TBS butter or coconut oil, melted
1 cup chopped ham (or cooked bacon)
1 cup freshly shredded cheese (I love sharp cheddar, but any kind works:)
Preheat waffle iorn to high. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry. Let sit for 5 minutes. Bake according to your waffle iron directions (I spray my waffle iron with THIS Coconut oil spray). Enjoy! Makes 10 servings.

Hi. I made these this morning and had to toss them :(
ReplyDeleteThey came out falling apart and burnt. The texture was horrible. This is the first time I've used almond meal. Can you tell me what I possibly could have done wrong?
Well, I don't recommend almond meal...this is a grainy texture. I only recommend almond flour, which is very soft like a white flour.
ReplyDeleteAlso, here is a video of me making the waffles:http://vimeo.com/38189514
The type of waffle iron will also be important...
I'm really sorry you didn't like them.
The package reads Almond Meal/Flour. I didn't realize there was just Almond Flour.
ReplyDeleteI even went out and purchased a new square waffle iron(do they would look like yours). I have one that you have pictured on a link but your waffles weren't shaped like that.
I'll take a look at the video. Thanks!
I watched your video and noticed you didn't add the cheese or ham. I added these items and the batter was so thick. Also noticed how runny your batter was. I guess I'll try it without those items and see if it makes a difference. I was so excited to be able to make these instead of the processed ones. I've been buying vans natural gluten free ones for some time now but home made is always better!
ReplyDeleteI made these for the first time yesterday with the Bobb's Red Mill almond meal/flour because it's all I could find at the grocery store. I sifted the flour/meal into the batter as the last item and then finished blending. They turned out great! My kids said they tasted like a soft waffle cone and my husband said they reminded him of Eggo Waffles. When he saw that I was making homemade waffles, he was expecting them to be fluffy like when they are made with Bisquik. He said he misses starch and carbs. I said, you will thank me in the long run! =)
ReplyDeleteThank you! What a good mom! I think feeding your family healthy food is the best thing you can do for them in life! Happy baking! :)
