A light and fluffy way to start the day, these Almond-Flour Waffles not only taste great, they’re paleo friendly and gluten-free.

Such a little change can make such a big difference. Not only does the substitution of almond flour for all-purpose flour give these waffles a subtle nutty flavor, they can now be enjoyed by my paleo friends and those I invite to brunch who can’t tolerate gluten. That’s a win-win-win!

But there’s more to these waffles than the flour. The Greek yogurt, nut butter, and cinnamon all play their roles, providing protein and flavor. It all makes for a complex profile that you don’t usually find in waffles, making this particular recipe one of my favorites. If you’re a regular here to FFF, you’ll know I love to greet my family in the morning with the scent of these crispy delights, so you know I don’t say that lightly. Whether you’re here for the diet or the taste, there’s a lot to love about these Almond-Flour waffles.

Are Almond-Flour Waffles Healthy?

Almond flour is more nutrient dense than regular flour, making it a healthier option. There is also lots of protein in these waffles, thanks to the yogurt, eggs, and nut butter. There is also fat and sugar but the amount is small enough that it shouldn’t be much of a concern. As stated, these waffles are paleo friendly and gluten-free. They are also vegetarian.

What is Tapioca Starch?

Tapioca comes to us from South America, where it is extracted from the cassava plant. We get tapioca starch (a.k.a. tapioca flour) by grating and washing the roots. This produces a liquid, which is then processed to remove its starch. What’s good about tapioca starch is that it is neutral in color and taste, so it gets a lot of play in both sweet and savory dishes. It also makes a terrific gluten-free thickening agent. What’s bad about it (depending on where you stand) is it’s high in calories and carbs, so it has to step aside when certain dietary restrictions are applied.

How To

Are there any disadvantages to purchasing organic products

Organic food has numerous benefits. There are, however, some drawbacks. These include higher prices for consumers, lower quality standards, and fewer options.

It's okay to want more variety in grocery shopping. We're conditioned to expect low-quality foods that taste bad. This is why grocery stores are stocked with the same prepackaged products.

Instead, highlight its strengths. Organic food is more nutritious and has fewer pesticides or antibiotics. Plus, it's grown without synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, which means it's healthier for us and our environment.
