Cassava Flour Waffles with a Collagen Kick
(from greenfood’s recipe box)
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 pastured or omega-3 eggs
- 1/4 cup Vital Proteins marine collagen (optional_
- 1/2 cup cassava flour
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon local honey or Manuka honey, or 3 tablespoons Just Like Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Just Like Sugar for dusting waffles (optional)
- One 12oz. package Trader Joe’s frozen wild blueberries (optional)
Directions
-
Heat a waffle iron. Place the eggs, marine collagen, if desired, cassava flour, coconut oil, honey, baking soda, and salt in a high-powered blender or regular blender and mix on high for 45 seconds or until well blended and slightly foamy.
-
If you don’t have a blender, whisk the eggs, coconut oil, marine collagen, and honey until well blended, and then whisk or stir in the cassava flour, baking soda, and salt. Using a 1/4 cup measure, ladle batter into the waffle iron and cook, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check periodically, since they cook quickly.
-
If serving as a dessert (phase 3 only), you may want to sprinkle a light coating of Just like Sugar and add 1/4 cup wild blueberries on top of each waffle. But always remember, it is best to retreat from sweet!
