Moist Gluten Free Waffles(SCD, Paleo, Gluten Free)

Being on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet you come to miss comfort foods. One of those comfort foods for me was waffles. Light, fluffy and moist waffles. I have tried many recipes and most of them came out dry and hard to swallow. So I played around and came up with this delicious recipe. They come out delicious, moist and flavorful everytime!

Moist Gluten Free Waffles (yeilds 2 waffles depending on your waffle maker)
Ingredients:
1 very ripe banana, mashed
2 eggs
dash of vanilla
1 TBS honey
1/2 cup almond flour(or almond meal)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
dash of salt
dash of nutmeg
1/4 tsp baking soda

Preheat waffle iron
Mix banana through honey together
Add remaining ingredients to the wet mixture
Prepare waffle iron with butter(or other scd legal oil) if needed

Cook and enjoy! I top mine with butter and honey. The perfect start to my day!

If you're looking for a great waffle iron. One that is nonstick(without needing any sort of greasing), cooks evenly each time then I have a great recommendation. The Cuisinart 4 belgian waffle maker. I have bought cheap versions at target and walmart in past years only to be disappointed each time when the nonstick film started to chip off and attach to my waffles. I decided to splurge on this one and it has made a huge difference and I think will be a better buy in the long run!

Update on Life

I know I have sort of left this blog and my facebook unattended. Life has been what you might call a little wild and crazy. Mid June on a hunch I decided to take a pregnancy test and lo and behold baby #3 is on the way. Interject that shock with a trip to Houston for a family wedding:

Then several trips to NH to help my Mother-in-Law rennovate their family house:

Then to celebrate my Grandmother in Law's 90th birthday where most of the family flew in from around the world to attend. An amazing weekend!

Then my baby girl turned 5!

And then one more amazing trip to NH to spend time with my cousin and her family whom I had not seen in over 3 years.

I also tried  to fit in some occasional work, spend some quality time with my kids, start to re-organize the house/prepare for baby #3 before I get too big and tired. And to top it off my ulcerative colitis rearing its ugly head. So a return to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet which means the lovely headache adjustment period, tiredness and moodiness for several days. And lots of food prep! But hey 4 days in and my stomach feels 1000 times better. Be sure to check back on my blog for some yummy low-carb recipes that I've created while following this diet in the past.

And in less than two weeks my baby girl starts kindergarten. I'm excited for her mostly because she is so ready! And I won't lie I'm a little excited too though I know I will miss her.

So yes, it has been a particularly busy summer and I'm looking forward to hopefully a more relaxed fall where I have more time to work and enjoy the cool fall air and activities. I do have an amazing collab with Suzy Q coming up 8/31. So be on the lookout for that.  Hope you all have had a great summer!
