Hi. Can arrowroot powder be substituted for the tapioca starch? Thx!
Yes, should be fine.
Oh man! These look delicious! I’ll be making them in the coming week for sure! Also have the pumpkin sticky buns on my to-bake list.
Brilliant… But I don’t have a waffle maker. Still, I’ll be saving this for when I eventually get one!
Well, I see a million pics on this page of waffles, but I don’t see a recipe anywhere. Is there just a glitch in my computer, or has there been a major omission?
Never mind, it finally showed up. Guess it took a while to load all those pictures & the recipe, for some reason, was last. (I’m sorry, but multiple pics of the same food item is slightly annoying to me!)
Could these be made into pancakes ?
yum! We don’t have a waffle maker but I wonder if we could just try and make them into pancakes… worth a shot!
They are AMAZEBALLS! And…paleo. What the what.
Can this recipe be used for pancakes also?
I’m making these for the 2nd time; I’ve been craving them like crazy all week. This is THE BEST waffle recipe – perfect texture & taste = pure waffle bliss! Thanks so much, Lexi! 🙂
Did you forget the milk?
Nope, no milk in this recipe!
These were great! I made them nut free by subbing in an equal about of sifted ground sunflower seeds for the almond flour. Amazing texture! Thanks Lexi!
These are wonderful! I substituted sweet potato puree. My kids are not Paleo and they’re both picky, and they loved these waffles. It was great to make something fun we can all eat.
Thank you!
So glad they were great!
I see it says it serves 4 – does it make 4 waffles, or does it make 2 and you are saying that 1/2 a waffle is one serving? Thank you!!
Depending on your waffle maker, it’ll make 8 pieces (or 2 big waffles), so 2 pieces each! Just accordingly 🙂
Can coconut flour be used instead? If so, how much? Thank you!!
No, coconut flour is not a 1:1 sub!
My kids just made these and said, “I’d have to say these are VERY, VERY good!”
Yay!!! Awesome report!
But we made two waffles from the recipe, so we’ll have to probably triple the recipe to feed the four of them.
Thanks!
So glad!!
These were really delicious but I wish the serving size would say 2. There’s no way this recipe would feed 4 people.
Can honey be substituted for the maple syrup?
Yes.
Do you have the nutrition information for this recipe?
Any other substution for the tapioca flour?
You can try arrowroot!
These were amazing!!!!! I don’t eat large amounts of eggs so I did one egg and one flax egg and still perfect. I will definitely make these again! Thanks for a great, grain free and gluten free treat!
I made these and they were amazing! But mine didn’t come on firmer.. My family prefer a crunchier waffle.. What am I doing wrong.. Plus mine seemed thicker than the picture… Still amazing just wanted a few tips on what I could be doing wrong… 🤔
*didn’t come out crunchier
These are really good but the batter makes 2 waffles not 4.
You could use your pumpkin butter recipe instead of syrup on these
Of course. Toppings are optional.
I love this recipe! Also is great using 1/4 cup Greek yogurt instead of the pumpkin, blueberries, and some fresh lemon zest (skip the pumpkin pie spice).
These were AMAZING!! My two kids, husband and I devoured them. 🙂 I doubled the recipe and it made 4.5 Belgian Waffles. We topped them with plenty of Kerrygold Butter and Organic Maple Syrup. Lexi, seriously some of the best waffles I’ve ever tasted, well done!!
Delish! So glad I doubled the recipe. I got 6 waffles and it wouldn’t have been worth it to only make 3. Thanks for the recipe.
These look amazing! Definitely adding these to my waffle recipes! Also, what kind of waffle iron do you use?
This is my favorite paleo waffle recipe by and far and I’ve tried a lot. I literally make it once a week and keep a bunch frozen to get us through. I recently subbed some of the pumpkin for mashed banana and added beetroot powder instead of all the pumpkin pie spices and it was a huge hit with my sassy 2.5 year old. Pink waffles for the win.
