SCD Almond Butter Waffles

Healthy waffles for the specific carbohydrate diet

Fluffy and delicious grain-free, 5 ingredient waffles… say no more…

These are also totally specific carbohydrate diet friendly and paleo too! Waffles are one of my favorite weekend breakfasts sooo even after starting the SCD to help manage my IBD symptoms, I needed to create a good grain-free waffle recipe.

Healthy Grain-Free Waffles

This recipe idea was born (surprisingly) from a car conversation with my sister… she suggested that I should try cooking my almond butter bread in a waffle maker to see if it cooks faster.

The result: it worked like a charm!

And all it took was 5 simple ingredients and 2 minutes! Who would’ve thought?!

These waffles are also super versatile. They have a light nutty flavor and just a hint of vanilla, making them perfect for sweet AND savory toppings!

A few of my favorites include sliced avocado, fresh fruit, nut butter, honey and chocolate (obviously). Even though chocolate is not “legal” on the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD), I’ve been able to add it back in over time. I just make sure that the chocolate I’m using doesn’t have any inflammatory sweeteners and is as close to 100% dark as possible.
