Lectin Free Belgian Waffles

A fresh, low-lectin twist on a classic, these LFG Belgian waffles are so fluffy and delicious. Even the most snobby of foodies will love them.

Lectin Free Gourmet Belgian Waffles

Inspired by the made-to-order Sunday brunch Belgian waffles at Log Haven, up Emigration Canyon in Salt Lake City, my LFG version with no-lectin flours and a "yeast replacement" is light and airy. Best of all, it smells and tastes like the original.

Real Belgian waffles are made with yeast. My LFG Belgian waffles have the same air pockets in them as the real thing, because I use a yeast replacement. Read on to find out how to make it.

Recipe

1 C Lectin Free Pancake & Cookie Mix

1 Pastured Egg (separate yolk and whites)

2 T Olive Oil

1 C Compliant Milk (or 1-2 T more to get the right consistency)

1 T Monk Fruit Sweetener

1 T Raw Local Honey

1 t vanilla extract

1/2 t almond extract

1 Pinch Salt

1/4 t Cream of Tartar

1 package of dry yeast or baking soda

8 Strawberries

Confectioners Swerve (for dusting)

Yield: 2 Large Belgian waffles

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Batter

Heat your waffle iron on highest setting. In a one-quart pourable measuring cup, mix together flour, yolk, oil, milk, monk fruit, honey, vanilla and almond extracts, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside. In a separate smaller, pourable measuring cup, mix egg white and cream of tartar to stiff peaks with electric mixer on high. Set aside.

Step 2: Add the Yeast

If using yeast, add it to the batter now and fold it in. Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes. The honey and starches will excite the starter.

Finally, fold in the stiff egg whites.

Step 3: Cook the Waffles

Butter the bottom of your waffle iron and flip. Flip back and pour in enough batter, about 1/2 cup for my waffle iron, to make one waffle. Flip again. When ready flip and remove the golden brown waffle. Plate it and garnish with four "heart" strawberries and dust with confectioners Swerve. Serve with Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup. It tastes like pure maple syrup, but has no sugar!

For waffles on the go, try adding the maple flavored syrup directly to the batter. Then just take the maple waffle with you.

These waffles pair lovely with a glass of Champagne or a mimosa for an elegant Sunday brunch. YUM!
