My Favorite Real Food Waffles

Last week I found myself really craving waffles. However, I have really been making an effort to eat real, nutritious, and healthy whole foods. I told myself that if I was going to make waffles, they needed to meet those requirements. That meant NO waffles from a box or a mix. Nope, I was going to make them from scratch.

So off I went, looking for a good recipe...

I ended up taking a traditional recipe, and swapping out a few ingredients. It was super easy!

First, I cracked two farm fresh eggs into a medium-sized bowl.

Then I added whole, raw goat's milk

Then came the melted extra virgin coconut oil...

Then a big spoonful of raw honey...

And a little bit of salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. 

After stirring, I added a mixture of unbleached flour and baking powder...

And stirred it just until the clumps were gone.

Then I poured some into my preheated waffle iron. I use this brand of waffle iron, and definitely recommend it.

They turned out beautifully! I didn't add quite enough batter to the iron, hence the funny shape. But otherwise, they were perfect! 

Here's the full recipe:

• 2 large, organic eggs 
• 1 3/4 cups organic milk (preferably raw)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon honey (I used raw)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour ( both whole wheat and all-purpose work)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• toppings of your choice

I think a variety of toppings would taste great with these waffles, so use whatever you like! My favorite topping? A warmed mixture of pure maple syrup and butter. Mmmmm.....delicious!

Even Paisley wanted some...

And so did Chloe...

So go ahead, give 'em a try!
