About Our AIP Waffles

Something that you should know about these waffles before you get started as they are of the cripier and thinner variety. The waffles that we are going to tell you how to make aren’t the soft and fluffy type that you can get, and they wouldn’t be categorised as belgian-style.

However, what we will say about these waffles is that they are absolutely delicious, and they are perfect when they are served warm, straight after cooking them. Sp, even though they are not the soft and glorious waffles that you would purchase pre-made or in a dessert store, they will still satisfy your waffle cravings with a buttery flavor that you can sink your teeth into.

You will also be keen to know that these waffles are egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and seed free to cater to as many allergen and dietary requirements as possible. They also contain all of the things that are needed to make them AIP-friendly, yet they will still leave you feeling extremely satisfied. This is one of those breakfast items that will make you feel like you are able to bring a normal breakfast back into your diet, which is what many people are craving when their diet is limited by certain ingredients.

Ingredients That You Will Need to Make Crispy AIP Waffles

When it comes to the majority of the ingredients on this list, you will probably find that you already have many of them in your AIP pantry. However, just in case you don’t, here are the ingredients that you will need to make these stunning crispy AIP pancakes.

Tapioca Starch

The first thing that you will need for this recipe is tapioca starch, and Anthony’s is a great brand for this. This is because Anthony’s is a brand that is consistent when it comes to quality, and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to purchase their products. However, any tapioca starch or tapioca flour will work.

Coconut Flour

Another thing that Anthony’s is great for is coconut flour, but any coconut flour will work. However, it is worth keeping in mind that some flours can be quite clumpy, so you will need to make sure to use a whisk or fork to get rid of them.

Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is the perfect ingredient for this recipe as it is a liquid, it has no taste, and it is really easy to use without messing up. However, if you don’t want to use avocado oil, you could also use melted coconut oil, palm shortening, olive oil, or lard. This will all depend on your personal preferences when it comes to oil. You will need to consider how the taste or consistency of the oil you use may affect your dish.

Coconut, Tigernut, or Banana Milk

You are also going to need either some coconut milk, tigernut milk, or banana milk to make the consistency of the mixture thinner. If you are not a fan of any milk products, you could also just use plain old water in a small amount. However, these three types of milk will offer the waffles more flavor, making them taste better. Alternatively, you could go ahead and make your own coconut milk to save money using shredded coconut and water.

Do I Need a Waffle Maker to Make Waffles?

Yes, if you want to follow this recipe, you will need a waffle maker to turn them into waffles. However, if you don’t already have a waffle maker and you don’t want to go out and buy one, you could use a pan and turn this into a crispy pancake recipe instead.

Can I Make These Waffles Ahead of Time?

You could make these waffles ahead of time and reheat them later, but the truth is that they are best-served as soon as you have cooked them. However, what you can make before-hand is the batter, which can be mixed up to 4 days before you want to make your waffles. Once you have the batter, you can pour it into the waffle maker when you are ready to eat them.

Although, if you do decide to make these waffles ahead of time, it is typically best to reheat them in the microwave. They will lose some of their crispness if you do this, but putting them in the toaster usually makes them too crispy. You can store these waffles in the fridge for a few days or store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How to Freeze Crispy AIP Waffles?

If you want to freeze your waffles to save them for a later date, you will need to place them on a baking sheet and put them into the freezer for at least 4 hours. Once the right amount of time has passed, you should remove them from the freezer and take them off the sheet. After you have done this, you should place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. This will allow you to just take out one or two waffles without them sticking to the bag.

Can You Add Toppings Into the Mixture?

You could add blueberries or any toppings into the batter before you cook the waffles, but more often than not, the waffles will not come out as well as they would without any added extras. This is because they stick to the waffle maker more and then fall apart. Although, you can see our list of toppings to put on your waffles after you have cooked them below.

Waffle Topping Ideas

One of the most common waffle toppings is fresh blueberries and some coconut whipped cream. It can also be a nice idea to add a dash of maple syrup into your cream to add some extra flavor.

Alternatively, you could just go traditional and only add maple syrup to the top of your waffles for a classic treat. If you are someone that likes to add a little crunch to their food, then you might even give tigernut granola a try on top of your waffles. The sky is your limit when it comes to waffle toppings as long as they are permitted by your dietary requirements.
