You would say,
"You're nuts."
And I would reply:
"You're right!"
My gluten and dairy-free Heaven Sent Waffles are made with almond flour, coconut flour and arrowroot flour. Why? Almond flour is highly nutritious and high in protein. Coconut flour is the highest fiber flour of all the flours, 58% dietary fiber. And last but not least, is arrowroot flour. Arrowroot flour is easy to digest; in fact, many naturopathic physicians recommend arrowroot because they feel that it aids in digestion. Ah...waffles... a perfect,"Heaven Sent" breakfast!
There is one problem with these waffles though... my husband asks for them at least three times a week! But luckily for me, they are super easy to make! (Please don't tell him) The truth is most days I don't even mix up the batter!
Here's the scoop, just between you and me, the batter keeps really well, so I make this big batch, store it in the refrigerator and at a moments notice I have WAFFLES! Ta-Da! My hubby thinks I'm a culinary genius; it's zero work for me, and I get tons of praise! That's the reason this recipe is called Heaven Sent Waffles!
MY HEAVEN SENT WAFFLES
In a large bowl, whisk together:
4 large eggs
1 can coconut milk (net weight 13.66 FL. OZ. 403 mL)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Add:
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup arrowroot flour (or potato starch)
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Whisk well. Use about 1/3 cup batter for each waffle. Follow the manufacturers directions on your waffle iron. Bake until golden brown and crisp.
Serve with butter or spread of your choice, real maple syrup, jam, fresh fruit...just use your imagination!
Have a Heaven Sent morning!

These waffles look yummy. Have one question. I'm a little confused about Almond flour/meal. Some people use these (flour, meal) interchangeably. What do you use in your recipes? And where do you get it? Do you grind your own? Gluten free is a little new to me so I'm slowly learning new things.
BTW-been passing your site on to others since we have several gluten intolerant friends.

Hi Bev!
The Almond Flour I use is blanched, ground almonds. It has a "creamy white" look. I don't use the ground almonds with the skins left on since that would give the waffles a heavy texture.
You can use Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour which is found at Natural Food Stores, such as Whole Foods. You can also order almond flour online, in bulk, if you find that you use it frequently.
Thanks for writing! I hope you LOVE the waffles!
Wow, I had these this morning, and I was stunned! I would never had guessed they were gluten free!!! They were light, crispy, almost floated off my plate!!!! Yum!!! Yum Wow! Fabulous recipe!!!
Hello Lynn:)
Is there another flour I could use instead of almond?
Hi Mary!
This particular recipe has been specifically formulated for a nut flour.
You could try making waffles with my "Not Your Grandma's Pancakes." Just be sure to coat your waffle iron well with a great coconut oil so they don't stick! Coconut oil is FABULOUS with pancakes and waffles. Coconut oil makes the ridges in waffles light and crispy and the edges of pancakes a glorious golden brown ~ ever so yummy!
I plan on creating some new (nut-free) pancake and waffle recipes this year, so keep tuned to this channel!
Big hugs to you! Lynn
I've tried several coconut flour waffle recipes (including those that call for pumpkin or banana mixed in), and this is by far my favorite. They are light and crispy and have a nice sweetness to them.
It's probably because the addition of the arrowroot powder adds an extra 56g of carbs to the whole recipe. If you're going for low carb, this isn't quite it, but if you're looking for a delicious, flour-free recipe, this is the one.
I've made it a couple times: once as written, and once I substituted for the CAN of coconut milk with 12 ounces of SO delicious milk with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Both worked.
I used Trader Joe's almond meal, and I expect that a finely-ground almond flour would be even better, but more expensive.
