Healthy Lemon Blueberry Waffles
Are you Team Waffle or Team Pancake?
gluten free, grain free, dairy free, paleo, IBD - AID
Whichever team you’re on, these waffles are a must try. When you’re on any kind of diet, the 1st rule of thumb is to usually ditch anything that comes in a package. Well, when you’ve been on a strict diet for quite some time, you do tend to crave the “no-no’s” like pancakes, waffles, dessert … At least I do. So then I challenge myself to recreate what I am craving into a healthier version that suits my dietary restrictions. And truthfully, to come across a brand that is within this strict parameter is like finding a unicorn.
Cue Simple Mills, a naturally gluten free snack and mix company that I truly trust and LOVE. I reserve the box for when I am pressed for time, or just don’t feel like making anything from scratch.
Today, we are baking waffles from the pancake and waffle almond flour mix. For whatever reason I was feeling super nostalgic, wanting to bake a waffle from my parents old school waffle maker. And to brighten up this (usually) heavy breakfast, I added lemon zest and blueberries. I felt like I was eating a dish from a lavish brunch spot. Are you a fan of lemon/blueberry combo?
