Lots of people are surprised to learn that I love waffles, and I’m sure you can agree that some mornings just call for them.
That being said, traditional waffles are a surefire way to start your day on a blood sugar rollercoaster that is hard to stop. These waffles are made with coconut flour, almond butter, and eggs, so they’re overflowing with good fats, protein, and fiber to fill your belly and fuel your brain.
Wild blueberries contain two times the fiber and two times more antioxidants than cultivated blueberries, which include polyphenol anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, chlorogenic acids, and flavonols to support the body in multiple ways. They also contain less sugar than regular blueberries!
I know you’ll love these as much as I do.
Wishing you health and happiness,
