Paleo Waffles with Strawberry Compote

Grain-free coconut flour Paleo Waffles made in a blender. Top these gluten-free waffles with stewed strawberries for a healthy breakfast!

I’m just going to pull out all the stops right now and punch your eyeballs with the craziest of infos.

These waffles are made in a blender.

BOOM. All you need to know.

But wait, there’s more..

They’re grain-free, gluten-free, full o’ fiber, refined sugar-free, you know…the ush.

PLUS accommodated by ooey gooey sweet and tangy strawberry topping that melts in your mouth.

The End.

I’ve found coconut flour and tapioca flour make a very nice grain-free waffle.

They turn out soft and chewy when cooked just right, and can crisp up if you prefer crispy waffles.

^Never have I ever wanted to curl up and take a nap on a pile of waffles so badly in my life.

Let’s get real.

How to Make Paleo Waffles:

Any time I make grain-free waffles, pancakes, Dutch babies, brownies, and cakes, I prepare the batter in a blender.

You see, gluten-free flours aren’t as sensitive to the over-churning/stirring/blending as regular all-purpose flour, so zapping them in a blender is no big deal whatsoever.

So the way I see it, I may as well take the lazy lady approach and just get it all mixed in one go. Blender treats for the win!

Here’s how we do it!

Plug in your waffle iron, heat to medium-high, and spray with cooking spray.

Add all of the ingredients for the waffles to a blender and blend until smooth. Allow batter to sit 5 minutes.

Pour about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of batter in the center of the hot waffle iron (batter will be very thin). Secure the lid and cook until waffle is golden-brown and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat for remaining batter.

Prepare the strawberry compote by adding the chopped strawberries to a small saucepan and heating over medium, covered. Bring to a full boil, uncover and add maple syrup. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes longer, until juices are thick. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to use.

Serve waffles with strawberry compote, butter, or plain yogurt.

Since there’s always a bit of free time while the waffles (or pancakes) are cooking, I like to whip up a silly simple fruit compote, which takes all of a nano second to prepare, but turns your breakfast or brunch into one of those swanky B&B experiences that you’ll never forget.

All we need for a fancy feast is some fresh fruit that we can toss in a saucepan and stew to gooey sweet compote-y delight.

Only takes 5 to 8 minutes. You can make it while you’re waffle iron-ing. Feel free to use any berry!

So to summarize, the way these easy paleo waffles are made is zap zap in the blender. A little stewing of the fruit. A little throw-it-on-the-plate with some plain yogurt (or dairy-free something or other of choice). And a lot of waffle-to-face action.
