Coconut Waffles
recipe courtsey of Christopher Doan, San Jose, CA, Oct 2006, Better Homes and Gardens (I made a few adjustments to make it Endo-Diet friendly)
Yields 8 waffles
1.75 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
2T coconut sugar, blonde + some for sprinkling
1T baking powder
sea salt, dash
3 eggs or egg substitute
1-14 oz can unsweetened coconut milk
6T Earth Balance soy-free or coconut spread
3/4 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
1/2 cup chopped raw almonds
1. In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a dash of sea salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside. In another medium bowl lightly beat eggs; stir in coconut milk and melted butter. Stir in coconut. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be slightly lumpy).
2. Pour 1/2 cup batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle baker. Close lid quickly; do not open until done. Bake according to manufacturer's directions (about 3 minutes or until golden brown). When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grid. Repeat with remaining batter. Drizzle baked waffles with Homemade Chocolate Sauce (see recipe below), chopped almonds and sprinkle with a little extra coconut sugar. Serve warm.
