Anyone have syrup?

Um, hi everybody. So, um, sorry that I haven't written anything in a long time. Would you believe me if I said I was busy? No? Oh well. Even if you don't believe me, I promise that I have been really busy—work has been crazy and there's been a lot going on at home, and I just haven't been able to dedicate the time to writing.

But never fear, for I have another post for you all, and it's one that has been often requested by people whose lives have been affected by CSID. Today's recipe, if you weren't able to deduce it from the title of the post, is for waffles. Yes, I will share with you my recipe for low-carb, CSID-friendly waffles. My son Jayson loves these, and Samantha has even said that they aren't at all bad. Okay, fine, they're pretty good considering that they contain no grains whatsoever.

What is great about this recipe is that it is easily scaled up or down depending on how many waffles you want to make.

Skip the tutorial and go straight to the recipe.

Step 0:

Grab your favorite waffle iron and set it to medium heat. You should also probably turn it on at this time.

Step 1:

Crack 4 eggs out into a medium container and add 4 Tbsp milk and 2 Tbsp oil. Whisk to combine.

Or, if you are lazy like me, use a stick blender (^_^).
So, you don't have to use cow's milk and vegetable oil if you don't want to. I use lactose-free milk because that is what I have on hand, but you could use whichever milk-like substance you prefer or can tolerate. Before you change which oil you use, remember that not all fats are created equal, and that I have only tried this recipe with vegetable/canola oil. That isn't to say that other lipids won't work, and I've never tried them, so go crazy and experiment.

Step 2:

Combine 5 Tbsp coconut flour*, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon, then add to the egg mixture. Whisk to to combine. The mixture will thicken slightly and should look similar to regular waffles batter.
If you have no problems tolerating a small amount of wheat flour but still want a lower-carb waffle option, the texture of these waffles greatly benefits from the replacement of 1 Tbsp coconut flour with 1 Tbsp wheat flour. Just saying.

Step 3:

Deposit a heaping 1/4 cup in the middle of your preheated waffle iron and close the lid. Exercise patience while waiting for the waffle to cook. Or wait impatiently if you are Jayson.

When the light turns from red to green your waffle is done.

Remove and repeat for your remaining batter.
Because this batter is so high on eggs I would recommend giving the iron a quick spritz with cooking spray to prevent an unfortunate sticking occurrence coupled with a destroyed waffle.
Also, my waffle iron has a light that turns green when it's ready to use, red when you put the batter in, and green again when the waffle is done. If you don't have this function, just follow your iron's manufacturer's instructions.
