Twix waffles
Twix Waffles (Gluten and Dairy Free)
Chocolate-covered waffles are my new favorite way to eat waffles! Add a rich caramel layer, and you’ve got yourself the best treat!! Also—be sure to try them chilled straight from the fridge—extra fabulous that way. 🤤
Recipe: Twix Waffles
Ingredients:
• Almond Flour: A perfect gluten-free alternative that gives these waffles a nutty flavor and a light, fluffy texture. It’s also high in protein and healthy fats. • Coconut Flour: Adds a subtle sweetness and enhances the texture of the waffles. Coconut flour is rich in fiber and works well in gluten-free baking. • Tapioca Flour: Helps to bind the ingredients together and gives the waffles a chewy texture, reminiscent of traditional flour-based waffles. • Baking Powder: Essential for giving the waffles their rise and fluffiness. • Salt: Enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.
• Eggs, beaten: Provides structure and helps bind the ingredients together, giving the waffles their classic texture. • Full-Fat Coconut Milk mixed with Lemon Juice: Adds richness and moisture. The lemon juice acts as a buttermilk substitute, giving a slight tang and improving the texture. • Refined Liquid Coconut Oil: Adds moisture and a subtle coconut flavor without the heaviness of other oils. It’s also a healthier fat option. • Raw Cane Sugar or Maple Syrup: Adds sweetness. Maple syrup is a great natural sweetener that complements the nutty flavors of the almond and coconut flours. • Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm, aromatic flavor that enhances the overall taste of the waffles. • Almond Extract: Adds a subtle, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the almond flour.
Topping:
• Chocolate Chips: Provides the rich, chocolatey coating that makes these waffles feel like a decadent dessert.
• Coconut Oil: Helps to melt the chocolate smoothly and gives it a glossy finish.
.
Caramel Layer:
• Cashew Butter: Adds a creamy, nutty flavor and is the base for the paleo caramel.
• Maple Syrup: Natural sweetener that adds depth and richness to the caramel.
• Coconut Milk: Adds creaminess to the caramel, making it smooth and luscious.
