This is one of those blog posts where I’m sitting here wondering, Why haven’t I done this before? Cassava flour is pretty much my favorite flour ever, yet I’ve up until now failed to make a cassava flour recipe for one of my favorite breakfast foods, waffles!
Well, the wait is over, folks! These waffles are everything a good waffle should be; soft, fluffy, and a bit crispy. I’ll definitely be making this recipe again and again!
It’s funny; whenever I think of waffles I think about how my mom used to bake her amazing pancake batter in the waffle iron for perfect thick and fluffy waffles, pre-paleo. They were never crispy, though, because she didn’t have time to beat the egg whites. These waffles are crisp and perfect thanks to a couple scoops of collagen peptides; no egg beating required!
- 3 egg whites
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup [url href=”http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Hydrolyzed-Collagen-Peptides-Powder/dp/B015GBCSWK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&keywords=perfect%20supplements%20collagen&qid=1461692315&ref_=sr_1_1_a_it&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=coituppa-20&linkId=444ecb72c21f27b422fb23456da7d897″ target=”_blank”]collagen peptides[/url]
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup [url href=”http://www.idevaffiliate.com/32360/idevaffiliate.php?id=104″ target=”_blank”]cassava flour[/url]
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whisk the egg whites with the egg, collagen, coconut oil, and honey.
- Add the cassava flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Preheat a waffle iron.
- Cook the waffle batter by scant 1/4 cupfuls per manufacturer’s instructions. They cook fairly quickly.
Theses waffles are wonderful! Made for my teenage boys (who always request “the real stuff” and they loved them as well!
Does anyone know if these freeze well?
They should 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! I made these tonight using Otto’s cassava flour and Great Lakes Collagen and they worked well. The only change I made was using just a small squeeze of honey rather than a full tablespoon. They do cook quickly so I watched them carefully after the first one. I got 4 waffles in a 5-heart shaped waffle maker. I ate them plain with eggs and bacon – it was so nice to have something to dip into my egg yolk 🙂
Can these be made with no honey? And I don’t have collagen, what can I substitute with if needed?
Yes you can make these without honey. Not sure on the collagen; you might be able to omit it but the waffles won’t be as crispy.
Can’t wait to try them. Do u have to oil waffle iron?
A little bit of oil wouldn’t hurt; I sometimes don’t oil mine because it doesn’t stick easily.
This recipe looks great! I don’t have collagen peptides. Would gelatin work instead?
Not sure; you might be able to omit it but the waffles won’t be as crispy.
What if I don’t have said collagen peptides on hand and still want to make these…. right now?! 😮
Not sure; you might be able to omit it but the waffles won’t be as crispy.
These look great! I’ve been wanting to try my cassava flour and these just may be the thing.
