I love waffles. That’s all.
I need to explain something. I don’t like the cold. What’s the point in being cold when you can be warm. That’s probably why I don’t ski. BUT, Colorado is pretty much the most wonderful place on earth and since we do get cold, we really appreciate the other 3 seasons. But right now, it’s straight up disgusting cold outside. It’s not pleasant. It hurts to breathe in, your hands freeze the second you go outside, and pretty much 70% of people got in car accidents on their way to work. Well, I have a different reason to hate the cold. So I bought a giant mirror yesterday. Human size. So I had the guys put it in my car safe and sound, and by the time I got home, it had cracked. It got so damn cold outside, that the mirror wouldn’t even keep it’s straight shape. So it’s cold either cost me $120 or 7 years back luck. Either way, it’s a real bummer.
But life isn’t worth sweating the small stuff, no sirry bob. Here’s a positive note. I put together a giant lamp yesterday without breaking it!! I may be speaking too soon, because I don’t have a light bulb to see if it actually works, so please keep your fingers crossed for me. If it doesn’t work, I’ll definitely throw it across the room. Or at the broken mirror. I can’t earn any more years of bad luck anyways.
I leave for Vegas tomorrow. THANK.GOSH. Once I have a mirror that isn’t broken, I was thinking about posting pictures of all the outfits I plan on packing. I used to look at Julie from PB Fingers fashion page all the time because she would post her weekly work outfits and night out dresses and absolutely loved seeing the cute outfits she came up with and where she got it at. So I might just do that. If you don’t care about that and just want to see food, LUCKY YOU, I will have a recipe to go along with it, so you can just skip Vegas dresses. I promise they won’t be hoe-ish though, it’s too cold for hoe.
Oh. And I’m really craving eggs and jam right now. Yeah, jam. Sounds so good. That is all. Ktotesloveyoubye.
Please stop hating me for saying totes.

These were a hit with the kids today! They had the taste and texture of regular waffles, which was great. Thanks!!
We lagit have the same ideas on everything…cuz waffles!!
These are awesome! And a terrific protein-packed, gluten-free alternative to our standby recipe. But I would happily serve these on a regular basis because they’re so much healthier. I used Nature’s Best Isopure Vanilla protein powder and it worked great.
The recipe made 3 7″ round Belgian (deep) waffles, and cooked in 45 seconds per side on my Prest0 Flip Side Waffle iron. I did have leftover batter which I cooked as a pancake (protein powder is too flippin expensive to waste a drop of batter!). Still delicious, different texture.
I plan to try mashed bananas in place of the applesauce. Also, the recipe comes together much quicker if you combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl, combine all the wet in another, and then just dump the dry into the wet and stir.
Thanks for yet another awesome recipe, Juli!
So I just got a waffle maker (after a whole six years of pining after one!!!). I don’t know why I didn’t invest sooner!
I’ve gone through and made EVERY SINGLE WAFFLE on your blog, and I have to say that this one is my favourite 🙂 THANK YOU!
(PS – I’ve only had the waffle maker for two days. But every meal since then has been waffles, ’cause I’m obsessive like that)
what could I replace the tapioca flour or arrow root powder with? I have coconut flour or almond flour. would that work? p.s you’re a life changer.
you really need that ingredient
Do these freeze well? I’d love to make them ahead of time for the whole week!
not really. they are much better the first day when they are crispy. but if you have a toaster, then that might work!
Just ate these, hands down best waffle I’ve ever eaten. I don’t even know what to do right now they were so good.
Thanks for sharing the waffle recipe. The batter was more watery than traditional but end result was fine. I made this with a chef’s choice waffle iron that makes them fairly thin and came out great.
Juli, love your blog, your recipes, and all the yummy extras your promote/suggest! Not sure what I’d do without you! I made these this morning and they kicked@ss. First cripsy pale waffles I’ve had and they still tasted amazing! Exactly what I needed after my partner WOD this am. Thanks again and keep up the fantastic-ness! What you do does make a difference to SO many people!
PS – I wouldn’t hate seeing more pics of your little doggie. SO Adorb.
Xoxo,
Jen
I just made these waffles and holy hell they were delicious! I only had chocolate coconut protein, so I used that, and also added some enjoy life chocolate chips. SO GOOD! I actually bought a waffle iron just to try these and it was definitely money well spent!
That’s so cool to hear! Glad you loved them!
