Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Waffles:

• 2 eggs
• ½ cup full fat coconut milk (unsweetened)
• ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup almond flour
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ¼ cup tapioca flour
• 3 tbsp coconut sugar
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 scoop protein powder (optional)

For the Stewed Apples:

• ½ tbsp coconut oil
• 1 cup apple, diced
• 4 tbsp water
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the stewed apples: In a small saucepan, combine diced apple, water, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the waffle batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut milk, applesauce, vanilla, and melted coconut oil. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Let the batter sit for 3–5 minutes to thicken slightly.
3. Cook the waffles: Preheat your waffle maker and lightly grease it with coconut oil. Spoon in enough batter to cover the waffle plates (amount depends on your waffle iron). Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
4. Serve and enjoy: Top the warm waffles with a generous scoop of stewed apples. Drizzle with extra maple syrup.
