Grain Free, Gluten Free Waffles! (GAPS, Paleo, Primal)

Today is my son's 10th birthday, and one of his all-time favorite breakfast foods is waffles.  This morning I whipped up a double batch of this Grain Free Waffle and Pancake Recipe from a blog called Deliciously Organic, we ended up with 22 waffles!  They are perfect toaster size so I'll put the extra ones in the freezer so the kids can pull them out and pop them into the toaster themselves.  Convenience food! 

We ate these out of hand with butter and a touch of maple butter, a glorious seasonal treat.  They would be excellent with a berry syrup and whipped cream as well.  I used almond butter instead of peanut butter and  they turned out lovely...

Gluten Free, Grain Free Apple Cinnamon Bars (GAPS, Paleo, Primal)

Since we're working on gut health lately this is a honey sweetened grain-free recipe.  It turned out great and all the kids liked it, which doesn't always happen!  I love that because it means I can use it in school lunches.  Our school doesn't have any  nut restrictions yet, if yours does you could substitute a seed butter such as sunflower.  Please let me know how it turns out if you try a substitution.  Thanks!



Apple Cinnamon Bars

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease 9 x 13 pan generously, I used butter. 

Ingredients:

2 apples, peeled and chopped
1 cup almond butter
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup honey
4 tbs freshly squeezed orange juice
4 eggs
3 tsp cinnamon
pinch of sea salt
2 tsp GF vanilla (optional)

Place all ingredients into food processor  and blend well.  Pour into greased pan and bake 30-35 min. 

My kids said this would be good with ice cream but I thought it was great all by itself!  They turned out moist and tender like cake and made the house smell wonderful.
