You know how I know I’m smart? I just made waffles. And you know why waffles are so much better than pancakes? Because they hold your syrup for you! No syrup left behind. That’s what I always say. What? Anyways. If you don’t like syrup and tend to eat your waffles and pancakes dry, you disappoint me…not saying any names. Laura.
Anywho, it’s Thanksgiving Day. And it sure is a day to give thanks. No but seriously, we tend to forget what we have to be thankful for sometimes. And that really is a shame. So since I’ve been making lists lately, here is another one. I know you’ve been dying to see another one of my lists.
What Juli Bauer is thankful for (Yes, I just referred to myself in the third person. And yes, that is creepy):
- Living with Laura Hazlett and having the opportunity to call her my best friend. If you haven’t noticed, I talk about Laura A LOT. She is my little sunshine. This girl just gets me. I’ll walk in the room and her and I will just make weird noises and it somehow makes sense to us. She’s the wind beneath with wings. The candy to my nut. And the fat to my bacon.
- Being able to not only workout with but also work with the one and only Jason Kelly at CrossFit Broadway. This gym has changed my life. Everyday I walk into this gym, I question the fact that I didn’t bring an extra pair of pants to change into once I piss myself from laughter. Jason is an incredible coach and gym owner and has taught me so much about changing people’s lives. His stache is pretty damn epic too.
- Any of the people I have met through the CrossFit community. I am damn lucky to know the people I do. I swear, every new competition I compete in, I meet someone who truly changes my life that day. And I’m not just being a douche and saying that. I truly mean it. I get the opportunity to talk with amazing people who are not only really good looking, but care about the people and the community around them. That’s pretty awesome. And very rare. I can thank CrossFit Evolve for believing in me and supporting me from the beginning.
- My parents. I had a competition this past weekend and had to run up a hill with a plate at the end…my dad ran up the whole hill next to me cheering me on. That’s damn cute. And when I competed at Regionals, my mom cried while she watched me in the 100s wod. Knowing that I make my parents proud is pretty epic…especially since I don’t always make my mom proud when I blog…and talk about my brazilian wax. My b, mom.
- Headbands. If I didn’t have headbands, I would have sweat in my eyes, then I would cry, then I would quit my wod, then I would hate my day, then my world wouldn’t go round. And then I would have to do my hair. And shower. Life would suck.
- My health. No matter how much I get upset about my weight changes or my skin issues, I am very lucky to be able to push myself daily in wods and get stronger regularly. I need to remember that more often and respect myself more. So today, I am thankful for my body.
- My car…that I’ve had since I was 16. Thank god she’s still kickin it.
- Anyone who has every read my blog, tried a recipe from my blog, recommended my blog, left a comment on my blog, laughed from my blog, got offended from my blog, made fun of my blog, felt uncomfortable from my blog, read my blog on the toilet, and whoever ignored my blog because they hated the name. Thanks.

I was wondering if these would freeze well? I was thinking of making a large batch, freeze 3/4 and then toast them in the mornings.
I ADORE this site!!! Thank you for your blog!
Mine were a big crumbly mess also. I added some almond milk but that didn’t help. I had some crumbles & liked the lemon but couldn’t eat them at all.
I tried this recipe this morning – the batter was very good – but it was a HUGE CRUMBLY mess. This recipe is in desperate need of an update! I put in the waffle iron and it just was all crumbly and didn’t hold together at ALL. I ended up then switching to making pancakes to try and get them to stay together -that worked a little better but we still ended up w/pancake crumbs. They still taste pretty good – I just really think something is off w/this recipe. I have tried other recipes of yours and they are all really good. Please redo this recipe!!
I’ll redo is soon!!
Really looking forward to the update on this one – sounds wonderful!
I just turned Paleo and I have been mourning the loss of waffles. My waffle maker is definitely my most prized possession and I am so happy to have dusted it off for these! Thank you so much for being so awesome and making my morning! I added an extra egg and a little almond milk and they are perfect!
These waffles are AMAZING! Followed the instructions except for using tapioca flour rather than coconut flour. Waffles were slightly spongy and flavorful. I’m adding this to my Favorite Recipes folder!
Please could you let me know what I may have done wrong – I made these waffles today but when I opened waffle iron they tore apart (top and bottom stuck to the non-stick waffle iron). They tasted really, really yummy. I tried a few times at different temps (1-10 range – I usually use 8 or 10 with the scrumptious gluten free waffles I used to make) etc but just couldn’t work out why they would not work. Thanks for your help.

i’m not sure. half the people who have made this recipe have had a hard time with it, so i’m going to remake it for everyone soon!
Hai, I did this and I replaced almond flour with golden flaxseed meal and did some extra egg whites stiffened and it came out beautiful full, thick, and fluffy it was amazing!!
Thanks, I made the waffles this morning. And they came out great! I am quite inspired to make more paleo and sugar free recipes. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Was soooo looking forward to these waffles! Unfortunately I experienced the same as others…thick, dry crumbly mess. Had to dig them out of my waffle maker. As suggested by some, I added a lil coconut milk and an extra egg to the remaining batter. Was better, but still difficult to remove in one piece. Lovely husbands comment “it’s not always about the presentation! They were definitely YUMMY!”
Looking forward to the revised recipe!
Thanks!
They are absolutely perfect: I reduced coconut flour amount, added flax meal and chia seads – the waffles are light and airy!
THANK YOU! I cannot believe there absolutely no grains in them!
