Coconut-Flax Gut-Friendly Waffles (Grain-Free)

Breakfast

Light, crisp waffles made with coconut flour + flax for high fiber, steady energy, and cozy vanilla sweetness—delicious with berries, nuts, or a little honey.
Why these ingredients work (quick + simple): Coconut flour is fiber-dense, helping you feel full longer and supporting a healthier gut environment. Ground flaxseed adds fiber + omega-3 (ALA) + antioxidant lignans, which support digestion and metabolic/heart health. Coconut oil helps the waffles get golden and crisp, but since it’s higher in saturated fat, it’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced, heart-healthy routine.

Ingredients:
2 large free-range eggs
2 egg whites
¼ cup coconut flour
1 Tbsp. ground flaxseeds
2 Tbsp. coconut oil (+ extra for greasing the waffle maker)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. monkfruit extract (or to taste)
1 tsp. baking powder
⅛ tsp. fine sea salt
Optional toppings: coconut flakes, berries, banana, nuts, cinnamon, honey

Beat the eggs: In a bowl, beat the whole eggs + egg whites for about 1 minute until foamy.
Build the batter: Add coconut flour, ground flaxseed, and coconut oil. Mix very well until smooth and thick.
Flavor + lift: Add vanilla, monkfruit, baking powder, and salt. Stir until fully combined.
Preheat + grease: Warm the waffle maker and grease it lightly with coconut oil.
Cook: Add ¼ of the batter and cook until golden and set (follow your waffle maker’s indicator).
Repeat: Remove waffle, grease again, and cook the remaining batter.
Serve: Plate 2 waffles per person, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy.
