To celebrate the release of the book, I'm sharing a new waffle recipe below. This Cranberry Nut Waffle was created after the completion of the book, so think of it as a bonus! It's just as delicious as my other waffles and has been a favorite lately since fresh cranberries are abundant right now. When you want to keep a breakfast of waffles low carb, it's important to find an alternative to maple syrup, which is over 50 grams of carb per 1/4 cup! For this waffle, I created a creamy cranberry spread to use as a topping. It's a great way to start your morning...and the new year. Have a happy and healthy 2016!
Grain-Free, Low Carb Orange and Cranberry Nut Waffle (or Pancakes)
Makes 2 waffles (6.5-inch round) or 8 small pancakes
Serving size: 1/2 waffle or two small pancakes
1/4 cup nut butter of choice (almond, cashew, but not peanut butter)
3 tablespoons of finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup fresh cranberries (measure first, then chopped fine)
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 large egg
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon stevia powder (I used Sweet Leaf brand)
5 drops liquid stevia drops (Valencia Orange or regular), or to taste
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon melted butter or ghee (use coconut oil for dairy-free)
2 tablespoons non-dairy milk or fresh squeezed orange juice
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Mix together all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until blended. Cook on your preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instruction for your waffle iron or cook on a hot griddle for pancakes. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, toast the waffles on the lightest setting of your toaster and watch carefully to prevent burning.
