Savory Coconut Flour Waffle with Eggs and Bacon
Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Waffles are a FAVORITE of mine, so I tend to find ways to make them savory! This simple recipe will satisfy your waffle craving while skipping that sugar crash. (Paleo, Low-carb)
Servings 2 waffles
Ingredients
Waffles
- 2 pasture-raised eggs, divided yolks & whites
- 2 Tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
- 2 Tbsp coconut milk
- 2 scoops collagen protein powder (optional)
- pinch sea salt
Eggs & Bacon Toppings
- 2-4 pasture-raised eggs
- 4 slices bacon (nitrate-, nitrite-, sugar-free)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350f degrees, line a baking sheet with tin-foil or parchment paper and place a rack on top. Place your slices of bacon on the rack and once the oven is ready, pop the bacon in to bake.
- Heat waffle iron and have ingredients ready (when using egg whites, time matters!)
- Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form (by hand it takes longer, but also feels like a workout...)
- Add coconut flour, baking powder, coconut milk, and whisk into the stiff egg whites. It will look like a paste.
- Add the yolks and whisk well, lastly, add the collagen if using and sea salt. Mix well and now you have the batter (approx. 2/3 cup), divide as necessary for your iron. This makes two square waffles for me using 1/3 cup for each serving. I heated mine to a 4.5 on a scale to 6 and they're perfect! Cook your waffles according to your machine's directions.
- While your waffles are cooking, check on your bacon and remove when you're happy with the crispiness level! Fire up a sauté pan with a little ghee/butter or olive oil and fry your eggs. I like to crack my eggs over the medium-heated oil/ghee and cover them just for a couple of minutes so they come out over-medium (no gooey egg whites, but gooey yellow!)
- Plate your waffles and add the bacon and eggs over top. Sprinkle sea salt and pepper if you like, and enjoy!
