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.

All these sweet treat recipes are just really nice. However, to this day, I have not found a substitute for sugar that doesn’t have an after taste. While I don’t like using sugar, I hate that after taste even worse. Any suggestions out there. Honey as 17g per tablespoon, so that’s out.
stevia?
Fantastic recipe – enjoyed it with blueberry compote. Doubled the recipe – made about 9 waffles in our belgian waffle maker. Freezing what we didn’t eat! Starting off the 4th of July with a bang.
This was my FAVORITE breakfast recipe until I recently found out that I can’t eat Apples OR Bananas! Any other ideas on what I can use instead? Thanks, J!
pumpkin?
So good! Best waffles I have made possibly ever. I added extra vanilla (1tsp more) and more cinnamon (a tsp total).
A few substitution tips:
My protein powder has a very strong flavor and added veggie powder (plus it’s so damn expensive) so I only used a half cup and then added three tbsp of flax meal.
For anyone else that can’t do eggs:
I used egg replacer per their directions but added in additional light coconut milk (almond milk would be best consistency but I can’t do almonds) to get it to a more traditional waffle batter texture.
Rejoice all you pumpkin lovers 😉 I successfully made these waffles by replacing the tapioca starch with Trader Joe’s gluten free pumpkin pancake mix – same measurement. Just be sure to grease your waffle maker! They’re an awesome protein packed treat with a drizzle of warm honey!
Hi Juli,
I made these waffles today for Sunday brunch. In a word, they were a HIT. All four kids agreed they were the best waffles ever.
I discovered after my waffle irons (4 kids means 2 irons going at the same time) were already heating that I forgot to get the unsweetened applesauce at the store yesterday. I was going to make applesauce from scratch (how’s that for dedication?) when I noticed the very ripe bananas on the counter. I mashed two of those instead and the waffles still came out great. I’ll be using this recipe again and again as the basis for other Sunday brunch treats. Thanks for the great recipe.
Gotta try this one – been looking for this for a long time. Also it sounds like a healthy and delicious alternative to the flour version
So, I’ve loved these waffles for quite a while now, but recently my husband switched to CHOCOLATE protein powder. I decided to go ahead and make chocolate waffles and they are almost like brownies. SO GOOD! I did replace 1/4c of tapioca flour with cocoa powder, but that is all.
Just had these for breakfast. I have finally found my favorite pancake/waffle recipe. Thanks so much. Love your site.
I just made these and didnt have applesauce handy, so I used mashed sweet potato, and they were bangin!
Thank you Juli, you are the ish.
