Here is a delicious gluten-free waffle recipe that you can serve for breakfast, as dessert or whenever you feel like a tasty snack! It’s low in carbohydrates, but contains lots of healthy protein and fats to keep your energy levels high. Suitable for Candida Diet!
This recipe contains no added sugars or gluten, both of which can contribute to poor gut health. It uses coconut instead of regular flour, but with a little experimentation you can use alternatives like buckwheat flour too.
You can top off these waffles with some organic butter. Alternatively, (and especially if you’re on the later stages of the Candida Diet), try the Granny Smith Applesauce recipe listed further down the page. Enjoy!
