Chocolate Brownie Paleo Waffles

Are you gluten-free or grain-free and missing waffles? If so (even if you’re not, really) you will LOVE this recipe.

We’ve been living a gluten-free and (and sometimes grain-free) life for many years now.  

Some of the most challenging adjustments for me at the beginning were replacing some of my favorite staple breakfast foods, like bread/toast, waffles and pancakes.

It’s amazing how much we are anchored to foods that we grew up with as children. We made pancakes regularly in our house as kids and I have found memories of watching my mom or dad flip them on the electric griddle we had.  

Even though we are a very health conscious, gluten-free/grain-free family, I still want my kids to be able to enjoy the simple things I loved as a child: like pancakes on the weekend!

Thankfully, these Chocolate Superfood Waffles are simple to make and easy to freeze. I make them in large batches and take them out as needed during the week. They are always a hit!

This recipe comes from a great book called Good Morning Paleo by Jane Barthelemy. I did  make a few changes to her original recipe. For example, she uses ⅔ cup of sweetener. That’s way too much for our taste, so we scaled back.

We also made a few other changes, but we have to credit Jane for her creativity! These are really delicious.

Since we don’t use non-stick waffle irons (found out why here)  I found these awesome silicone waffle molds that have been great for cooking in big batches.

I hope your family loves these as much as we do!
