I’m totally on a gluten-free kick.
… and it’s all because of coconut flour.
I am a master of all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, pastry flour, and… gi-normous bowls of pasta. I’ve packed gluten-free-free food items into every meal for ever and ever. Delicious.
But then coconut flour came along… and not I’m totally obsessed.
Coconut flour is high in fiber, and has a good amount of protein. It’s a very absorbent flour, so you’ll use much much less coconut flour than you would all-purpose flour. It thickens a batter even as it’s just being stirred into the wet ingredients. Why? Fiber? Fiber is absorbent, and good for you. Duh.
Coconut flour also has a slight sweetness to it. It’s really a cool, and approachable alternative to all-purpose flour. If you’re thinking that you might want to take on a bit of gluten-free baking… coconut flour is the way to go. I like Bob’s Red Mill Coconut Flour… and they didn’t pay me to say that… they just make great flours.
Try new things! They’re delicious!
These waffles have two kinds of coconut (three if you count the flour) (wait… four if you count the oil): shredded and flaked.
Maybe I’m a coconut fiend. No biggie.
The coconut batter is thickening right now! Riiiiight now! It’s magic.
Thick golden coconut waffles.
They’re dense, but soft. These waffles aren’t too sweet, and really… if you didn’t tell your husband they were gluten-free, he would NEVER know. Promise.
I like to top everything with syrup and cream.
So… obviously.
These coconut waffles are absolutely divine with maple sweetened whipped cream aaaand a generous drizzle of maple syrup. And more coconut.
Happy Breakfast!
Gluten-free Toasted Coconut Waffles with maple cream
makes 2 sheets of square waffles in a 8 1/2-inch waffle maker, serves about 3
For the waffles:
1/3 cup sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
4 tablespoons melted coconut oil, or unsalted butter
6 large eggs
1/4 cup agave nectar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup coconut flour
2 tablespoon mashed bananas (i forgot to buy bananas and used peanut butter)
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted (if you don’t want to use flakes in addition to shredded coconut, just top your waffles with more shredded coconut)
For the maple cream:
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Place coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 4 minutes. Keep an eye on the coconut, it browns and burns quickly.
Remove toasted coconut from the oven and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut oil, eggs, agave nectar, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Whisk until well incorporated.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, salt, and baking soda. Work the mixture with your fingers to ensure that the coconut flour doesn’t have any lumps in to.
Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mixture will begin to thicken as you whisk. Add the toasted, shredded coconut and whisk to incorporate. Allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes while you plug in and preheat the waffle iron.
I have an 8 1/2-inch square waffle iron, and this recipe made 2 waffle sheets. I divided the batter in two to bake them up.
To make the maple cream, whisk together heavy cream and maple syrup, in a medium bowl, until soft peaks form. Easy.
Bake up waffles, and serve warm with maple cream and toasted coconut flakes.
Kristen Anderson
Made these this morning! My gluten loving husband loved them – “like being transported to the islands”. Thanks Joy!
Alison
There’s something suspicious happening here. Made them exactly as written and they were limp. Put them in the oven to try to harden them, and they wouldn’t harden! They were equally as limp. Who wants limp waffles? : (
Stacy (@stacymakescents)
These are the BEST coconut flour waffles we’ve ever had. The texture and flavor were perfect. Even my child who never eats coconut flour, because of texture, loved these and ate every bite. Thank you! I used applesauce in place of the mashed banana and didn’t make the maple cream – we just served with maple syrup and sliced strawberries. Excellent!!
Emily D
Joy, I LOVE these these. I made these tonight for a crowd of friends and got nothing but raving reviews. Your blog makes me way happy. Thank you!
Jen
is it sad I saw this on buzzfeed and recognized your plates :)
joythebaker
not sad at all!!
Stepha
Omg, this looks amazing!! Crazy thing is, this past weekend I wanted to make waffles in my shiny new waffle maker, and spotted the coconut flour, actually hubby spotted it and asked if we needed that I said “no, but I must come back for it!”. I love all things coconut, so I’m glad I found this recipe, sounds absolutely divine. Thanks for sharing!!
Linds
If my husband is not a whipped cream fan, would these work with maple bacon crumbled on top? Not sure if coconut and bacon go together…
joythebaker
Sounds delicious! Go for it!
Inquisitive baker
I made these this morning and have one suggestion. When mixing the wet ingredients (i.e. eggs, vanilla, melted coconut oil, etc.) make sure to mix the oil in at the very end or to ensure your eggs are room temperature otherwise the oil will get hard again. I’m new at this and think this may help other newbies. My end results were highly complimented by the two most amazing men in my life, my hubby and son, so thank you for sharing this recipe. I added fresh strawberries on top of the maple cream with the browned coconut flakes sprinkled on top! Delich, thanks again for sharing!
Amanda Barkey
Hey Joy, I didnt read the comments because there are 161 of them and someone probably said this but did ya know that you can make whipped cream out of the cream that sits on top of the coconut milk that you get in a can? THAT on top of THIS amazing waffle would just be mind blowing I think! :) Thanks for this recipe!
Sam
For anyone wondering… yes, these do make good pancakes :) I used almond butter instead of peanut butter and they made nice thick chunky American-style pancakes that tasted very coconut-y without being too overpowering. Great with some pure maple syrup if you can’t be bothered to make the maple cream!
Thanks for the recipe!
Angie Halten
Soooo yummy! Great recipe!
Lori
Made these for my family tonight. THEY WERE SUPER YUMMY!! Thanks for the recipe.
Chelsea Jamison
Hi Joy-
Wonderful recipe although in my experience 6 minutes was way too long to toast the coconut flakes in the oven. I toasted them for 6 minutes originally and they were completely black. 1 minute was perfect for me. Thank you for the recipe!
Chelsea
joythebaker
thanks for the feedback chelsea!
micah rose
So…I just made these…using peanut butter…and OMG! They are fabulous:) I didn’t use maple cream…but blackberry cream. SO FREAKING GOOD! Joy…you amaze me. Nice recipe…also nice podcast. I didn’t use any of “God’s Gold” like I usually do….LOL
Liz
You know you can make a coconut whip cream to put on top and make it a 5 coconut waffle:) Coconut stuff is my new fav too although this is the first I have heard of coconut flour. I use the oil and milk all the time though. So thanks I will have to search out the flour and make some if this for my hubby and it will make him ohh so happy.
Mariah
Joy, what a timely post. I just came across coconut flour, as well as a bunch of other coconut products (many of them raw–which is supposed to be more nutritive) and I’ve been wanting to experiment. Because I was out of soy sauce, I bought coconut soy sauce replacement. I was skeptical, but it is really good and very similar to regular soy sauce (minus soy, which I’m avoiding, lower in salt and full of amino acids).
Can’t wait to start baking with coconut flour and to give these delicious looking waffles a try!
And happy belated birthday! You’re going to love your 30s, I promise!!
Talyna Conde
Hello.

Janey
Hey Joy,
First off, love love love your blog! Been reading it for a while and I am quite excited about Homefries – listened to your first podcast already!
Quick question – My Uncle is always bugging me about making something gluten-free for him and I have yet to explore the realm of Gluten-Free baking. After reading your praises on Coconut flour, my question is, can you substitute coconut flour for everything? Or does it give it a coconut flavour to your baked goods as well?
Thanks!!!
jc
Lynna
These sound delicious and I just bought some coconut flour but I don’t have a waffle iron :(
Wonder if they’d work as pancakes? (though waffles are far superior.)
Stacy (Little Blue Hen)
“Fiber is absorbent, and good for you. Duh.” This will be my catch phrase for the next week.
I have been putting coconut on my oatmeal that leans towards “oatmeal on my coconut” territory. Yum. Those waffles look amazeballs.
Tay
Oh, these look so yummy!
Marcy B
Call me a one-upper if you like, but I’d top these babies with a drizzle of full-fat coconut milk :-).
Charissa
Must…get…coconut….flour. NOW.
kathleen
Joy! I made some delicious cookies of yours and they were fab. I managed to save a few and freeze for winter sweetness during the week. These waffles look too good. xx
sheila @ Elements
I’m a coconut fiend too, but I’ve never tried baking with coconut flour. I’m gonna have to try it. I wish I had a waffle maker so I could make these for breakfast. They look wonderful! :)
Wendy
These waffles look amazing! I am gluten intolerant and I really appreciate the gluten free recipes that you post. I’ve never used coconut flour before, but recently I’ve seen lots of yummy looking recipes that call for it, so I will probably get some soon.
unclichedtrio
These waffles look so tasty..
Matthew
OMGZ so GOOD! And easy. And FILLING. Two waffles had me down for the count. (Which is highly unusual as my stomach usually doesn’t have a maximum capacity.) Also, I added chocolate chips to the last batch just to see what would happen. It was okay…I wouldn’t recommend against it necessarily, but they’re not really needed. These are pretty great as they are.
Anne
Does anyone ever ask about your dishes? :) I’m funny like that: I’ll spend money on dishes before jewelry anyday. I love the blue dish the previously-stated delectably delicious waffles are presented on. Where did you find it, dear friend?
Mia
Hmm, I’ve never tried anything gluten free, these look amazing though!!
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts
These sounds delicious! Your pictures look gorgeous! Thanks!
Joanne Stefanacci
Heaven. I love you, Joy. Can I come live with you?
April
Tried these tonight for supper. The kids thought they were fabulous. I liked the flavor, although (using the banana) mine didn’t crisp up at all.
Allison
Oh my goodness. I have been wanting to try something with coconut flour for a while now and these look absolutely amazing. Will definitely be busting out the waffle iron this weekend. Happy Friday!
Celeste
Wow those look delicious! My mom is completely obsessed with all things coconut (and especially Coconut Bliss Ice Cream–soo good) I will definitely be making these as a post mother’s day treat..maybe I’ll even top them with the coconut ice cream…then there would be 5 kinds of coconut !
Emmy
looks amazing!! I will definitely give this a try!!
Pretty. Good. Food.
I’ve never had coconut waffles! Sounds funky, in a good way! :)
CassidyS
Wow-these waffles look great! I use coconut flour all the time and absolutely love it. I’ll definitely be trying these.
nileta
coconut flour! mmmm… i am so jealous! i wish i could get my hands on that… unfortunately i am stuck with regular flour here in greece…
but your ideas and recipes are truly inspiring…. and a huuuuge temptation!
xx*
Lynn
Ever make anything with the coconut flour w/o eggs in the recipe? I’m intrigued!
CookiePie
How lovely! I have a bag of coconut flour that I bought just because I thought it sounded delicious, and I have yet to use it — I’ll have to try these waffles. Thanks for sharing!
Charlotte Moore
Could these be made into pancakes instead? I do not have a waffle grill. I have made a few things with coconut flour. The texture is really different.
joythebaker
I haven’t made this recipe as pancakes, but I have a distinct feeling that they would work wonderfully!
Kelly
Wow, these look absolutely amazing. The maple cream is making my mouth water. I am going to try this recipe over the weekend for my little girl!!
Annalea
mmm….i luvs me some coconut. how about coconut butter instead of peanut butter? yes? no? maybe so?
Betsy Gluten Freedom
Those look delicious! Glad you’re enjoying the gluten-free world. It’s not so bad, right?
Cookie
Coconut flour is great, and there are a lot of great gluten free flours to play with. Over the last year I have learned to master many of them. It’s fun learning new ways of baking with new flours. And, we could all stand to give up the gluten now and then.
Bonnie
These look so good! I think im going to have a go at coconut cinnamon rolls this weekend! I have a huge bag of coconut flour just sitting in my pantry
Michelle @ Brown Eyed Baker
These sound so amazing! I have incredibly never heard of coconut flour, but now I want to try it in all sorts of things!
Kerry Edwards
I love that you are putting up all of these gluten free recipes. Especially since I visited my doctor yesterday and she thinks that I, like my sister, have Celiacs. I may not, but the thought of it is already making me want to eat as much bread and pasta as I can in case I have to give up my beloved flour. But I also starting to store up food recipes that I can enjoy that don’t harm my body. So please, keep them coming! And, in the mean time, I am going to enjoy a morning bagel.
Bethanie
Ahh! Looks amazing. Especially as I sit here having not had breakfast… I have been on this crazy-go-nuts coconut kick for like 3 weeks now. Just can’t get enough… Starbucks has this new Mocha Coconut frap I’ve had almost every day because it’s been half-off-fraps week! Anyway. I’ma make me some-uh these. Thanks, lady!
Amy W
“2 tablespoon mashed bananas (i forgot to buy bananas and used peanut butter)”
I like this because I too am out of bananas, so where I usually put a banana in my smoothie this morning, I used avocado instead…
Pure2raw Twins
I am a big fan of coconut of all types! I love coconut flour too in my gluten free baking! It has become a must key ingredient! Love it and those waffles look so delicious!!!
The Teenage Taste
Fluffy waffles are the bomb! I love how you topped yours with maple cream. Yummy!
Kirstine
Not happy :( don’t think I’ve ever seen coconut flour in the UK? it must be here somewhere!! boo!
Marisa
Kristine – you can order it through the Amazon UK website!
Jessica
They have it at wholefoods!
Marisa
Coconut overload! My tastebuds will be superhappy. :-D
Elana
Joy -these look amazing. Can’t wait to make them. So happy that you are creating gluten free recipes with no white sugar –hooray for me and my family :-)
Elana
Katrina
I’m dying for that maple cream! Swoon!
lynne
Omg, you are Amazing. I cannot wait to try these :)
The Newlywed Chefs
We just made waffles, too! That maple cream looks uh-mazing.
Justeen @ Blissful Baking
Coconut is my new favorite thing these days. These waffles WILL be made at home!
Lora @cakeduchess
Whoa! I’m a coconut fiend too:)Luckily, my kids have taken a liking to them too recently! I spoil them rotten w/waffles every weekend. I’m going to look for coconut flour and try this delicious recipe. These look fantastic.
Morgan @ My Name is Morgan and I'm a Pumpaholic
Holy crap these look delicious. Probably even more delicious because I’m eating low carb this week. I’d seriously consider trading in my bikini for a plate of these…
Mireya
Yippy I am soooooo excited im searching for the waffle iorn as i type!! I am so happy that you are going on a gluten-free kick :) i have been recently diagnosed of being allergic to gluten; and have debated buying diffrent types of flour. WAFFLES!!!
brooke
yessssss. my little brother has celiac… baked for him with all kinds of funky flours, but never coconut flour. can’t wait to try it.
Rebekah
Oooh! Yes! Love!
michelle
Coconut waffles?? YUM!
Lori @ RecipeGirl
First of all, I need a giant waffle iron like the one you have. Mine simply doesn’t do.
Second, I’m into the whole gluten-free thing right now too… loving coconut flour. But I love almond flour even more. Have you had that yet??
joythebaker
not yet! i need to play around with almond flour too!
Kelsey
These look heavenly!! I love coconut….so these will definitely be on my “to-eat” list.
Margee
That’s it, I’m definitely taking the coconut flour and gluten free plunge, starting with these waffles! Thanks for the recipe and the education.
Chelsey
Hurray! These look like my favorite thing. I need coconut flour? And oil? Both are on my shopping list? Okay!
Terris@Freeeatsfood
Wow Joy. I feel so lucky. Two gluten-free recipes in a week?? Awesome. I have been baking gluten free for about 3 years now and love how the opportunities are endless when it comes to new types of flours. Right now I am experimenting with sweet potato flour. By the way, gorgeous waffles. Yum.
Sarah-Anne
YUM.
Happy When Not Hungry
I definitely need to get some coconut flour. These waffles look amazing!
Rach
Oh my, I need this right now please. Yes, please. Mmmhmm! :0)
Ragnhild
Ahh, YUMMI!!
Jenné @ Sweet Potato Soul
Oh yeah Joy, these are definitely on my “to-make” list. It’s been too long since I fired up the old waffle press!
anne
OMG! I wish it were Sunday already so I could make these.
Rach
Oh my, I need this right now please. Yes, please. Mmmmhmmm! :0)
Kristin @ FoodFash
I used to be a collector of “cool” things, now I’m a collector of Bob’s Red Mill things. My kitchen is drowning in Bob :)
hollypop
how exciting! i’m a glutard and i thank you for this recipe. i can’t wait to try it this weekend.
Melinda
Oooh. These look heavenly. I love waffles. I love coconut. I need to make these.
dominique
man…i was going to make these, and then i saw they took 6 eggs. i dont eat eggs. now i am sad…
claire
Those look amazing and I’m not even that into coconut.
What kind of waffle maker did you use? I’ve been keeping an eye out but most of what I see are for Belgian waffles and I prefer the thinner variety.
Rocky Mountain Woman
I am playing around with different flours since my little grandson was put on a gluten free diet.
I’ll bet he’ll just love these! Thanks…
Rhoni
I don’t have a waffle iron…is there an easy way to convert waffle recipes to pancakes? Thanks! Looks delicious and I have the coconut flour on my counter waiting to be used! (Made the strawberry cupcakes the other day…divine!)
Katie@Cozydelicious
My best friend is g-free and I’m using these waffles as a bribe to get her to come visit me! Seriously, wouldn’t you drive 3 hours for waffles? Yes!
jaclyn
i’m obsessed with coconut. i’m obsessed with waffles. this is perfect.
i’ve been wanting to buy some coconut flour to experiment with making some muffins, and now it’s settled. i’m buying some today. thanks for the inspiration!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga)
I make pancakes (vegan and GF) with coconut flour. And coconut oil :)
It’s amazing stuff and I love it!
Love your waffle recipe…I just need a waffle iron now! The only food blogger without one, Im sure!
Sarah
Oh man…. I just wanted to let you know that I had this weird dream last night that I had to go gluten-free… this is weird.
The good thing is that if I ever DO need some gluten freedom, I know where to look. :D
Kierstan @ Life {and running} in Iowa
These look absolutely amazing! I haven’t used coconut flour yet, but use just about everything else coconut!
Courtney
Joy, you are making my switch to gluten-free life that much easier… You rock! Thanks for tackling my favorite food… Waffles. I tried to make some using a GF all-purpose flour but they were a bit more dense and I didn’t want to think about experimenting with the recipe forever to finally get it right. When I want waffles, I want them done right, and I’m sure yours are super. Thanks for a great go to recipe.
Gen
I didin’t know there was coconut flour as well, these look extremely tasty!!!
Courtney Wise
OMG. I love coconut flour. Ever had blueberry muffins made with coconut flour? You’d love. I’m totally buying a waffle iron. Why don’t I have one anyway? Thanks for the excuse to go get one!
Marcella
Would this batter work for pancakes??
joythebaker
while i haven’t tried it, i do believe that batter would work well in pancake form.
Nicky G
My next mission will be to source coconut flour in New Zealand…and buy a waffle maker.
anja
Hi Nicky,
There is an online store http://www.frot.co.nz/nature/coconut.htm
But they are out of stock right now.
Maybe Commonsense organic?
I just need to find my waffle maker… :D
Mandie
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m making these ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ruth
I’m so loving the coconut thing right now – thanks for all the ideas!
Enid
Wondering if this same batter would be good as pancakes too? Looks YUMMY!!! I love coconut flour. Best invention.
whitney
Gluten-free AND coconut! I love you.
So going to make these!
Susan
Super! I have been wanting to get into coconut flour, so here we go… Fiber is my mission.
Dana@TheSundaySweet
You’ve got me. I want to try coconut flour. I’ve been baking with some almond flour lately which I’ve loved. But coconut flour makes me think of somewhere tropical that has a cool breeze. Coconut waffles on an island is my dream. Thank you for sharing!!
p.s. How do you keep on coming up with things that I want to eat straight from the computer?
Ellie@fitforthesoul
ohhhh myyyy~~~~ I just had “coconut cream” today (coconut flour+milk) on my waffles and I loved it! I so would make this if I had a wafflemaker!! :D great recipe Joy~
Beth
Hmmm… coconut flour, eh? I love baked goods but they do nothing to flatter my mid section. Perhaps I should try to use this instead of all-purpose. How about a lemon bundt cake made with coconut flour? My favorite summertime cake :) Thanks for always posting amazing recipes!
Amy
Looks lovely! I do wonder about coconut flour and coconut oil. Do they make anything you cook with them taste like coconut? I only ask because my husband doesn’t like coconut, and I would like to try coconut flour and coconut oil for our baked goods.
joythebaker
well… yes.. they taste of coconut, but not completely overpowering.
Charlotte Au Chocolat
OMG.
meg
Hmmm…you know, I’ve been wanting to go on a gluten-free kick lately. Sometimes all-purpose just doesn’t get me there even though it is a magical thing. Coconut flour might be just the place for me to start my GF odyssey. Thanks, Joy.
Ruth
I’m wondering how coconut-flavored it is too. Or if it’s like almond milk, which tastes nothing like almonds.
Amber
Yummalicious!
misty rose
I am a fellow coconut fiend as well, however, I wonder if the flour tastes coconuty or coconutish? Just wondering if it would impart a noticeable flavor if I wanted to use it in a non-coconut dish. (GASP!)
I am Pro-Gluten but have a GF friend, and I don’t want to kill her with her own birthday cake.
Jessica
These look delicious Joy!
Syl
I love this flour too! Sprouts also carrys it…by the barrels! Cheaper than ordering on line and having to wait for it. I think it was like $1.99 lb. I’m making these for LUNCH! Then some to freeze…I’ve been all about the freezer lately.
Kristen@PrettySweet
I have never experimented with coconut flour, but I am definitely willing to now! I’ve just gotten into a coconut kick myself – lime macaroons with white chocolate and the new mocha coconut frappuccino from Starbucks have converted me! These waffles sound incredible. My husband hasn’t jumped onto the coconut boat yet but I’m working on it…=)
Ashlae
HOLY AMAZING. Those waffles look perfect. Drooling.
Anna
ah man, i so love everything you make. can you tell me what kind of camera you use?? it takes such magnificent photos!
Amanda
Yum! These look crazy good. I’m lovin’ all your gluten-free recipes…keep em coming please!
Garland
These look amazing. And you could up the coconut factor – and veganize them – by subbing the cream from a can of full fat coconut milk for the heavy cream in the topping (chill it first so it separates and solidfies a bit). It totally whips up into a great whipped cream substitute, though it has very little coconut flavor. We have to bypass all dairy except butter (praise the Lord!) so that is our go to dessert topping, and it’s delicious (and WAY better than what you can find premade in the cold/freezer case).
(P.S. I may be a little obsessed with parentheses today. I should probably have my coffee.)
Emily
GF Cupcakes and now waffles…AMAZING!
I’ve been following your blog for over a year now and have loved every moment of it!! When I found out a little while ago that I had to go gluten-free I continued to read your blog and just wish I could make all your delish recipes! Now I can! Thanks for sharing these gluten-free beauties Joy!
Kenzie
Glad to see that you are rocking out some g/f cooking. if you can find a way to make g/f cinnamon rolls, that would be awesome!
Rita
Ohhh, I love these!! Wonder if I could forget the peanut butter and use Nutella =)
Amy
Do you have a chocolate chip cookie recipe using coconut flour? I’ve never made anything with coconut flour…I made some using almond flour, coconut oil, agave, and the texture was mushy. Even when I overbaked them, underbaked them, they were icky. Could I just sub in coconut flour? Hmmm…
joythebaker
Coconut flour is an entirely different beast. I don’t yet have a coconut flour cookie up on the site, but thanks for the inspiration!
Kalmia
Oh Dear… These look Ahhh-mazing.
Love tasty gluten free treats!
Catherine
These waffles look divine! I think I am in danger of following you on this gluten-free kick and having to purchase new kinds of flour (and new flour containers!).
Lauren at Keep It Sweet
I really wish that I liked coconut…. that maple cream, however, is right up my alley!
Caroline
Oh.my.gosh. These waffles look divine!! I’ve never worked with coconut flour before, but I think you just may have inspired me to do so. :)
Jen of My Tiny Oven
Well I thought I was hungry before I read this post… now I am STARVING! I love coconut! can’t wait to try these. Wish I had a waffle maker at work! LOL!
Elyse
I am a coconut addict and I am SO going to try this recipe! Gluten-free makes me uneasy sometimes, but this sounds harmless! =] Plus, it puts to use that dang waffle maker we got as a wedding gift!
Natalia - a side of simple
And I must profess that you have solely won my heart over with these gluten free waffles. Since finding out my allergy to the beloved gluten, waffles and pancakes have been whole-heartedly missed. But these are about to save my heart ache ;)
Katy from DiningwithDusty
I’m also a coconut fiend and, looking at these, all I want is for somebody to give me a waffle maker on my birthday. So I can eat them every day for the rest of my life!
nancy
Coconut four ways — I love, love, love, LOVE it. I’m a coconut freak. Terrific recipe.
Yuri
I love coconut, these must be so good! :)
Seanna Lea
I love breakfast for dinner (we had baked french toast on Monday), so this is definitely on my short list. I love coconut, but will probably need to swap out a couple of coconut items for something else. Silly husband doesn’t love the coconut.
Nicki Woo
Oooh. Lovely. Only I’m going straight from breakfast to dessert, and upping you one. Coconut Ice-Cream instead of whipped cream. THEN, my husband will love me forever times 2. Because he already said he’d love me forever on the wedding day, but he never said times two, so. . .there you go. I’m stopping now.
Brandi
Oh. My. Goodness. I want to leave work and run home to make them right now!!!
Stephanie
You are so right… plant these in front of the hubby and he wouldn’t care what was or wasn’t in them! :)
Heidi @ Food Doodles
Yummy! <3 coconut :D
Cheryl
What a wonderful recipe to celebrate Celiac Awareness Month. I can have my waffles and eat them (gluten-free) too!
Susan (Oliepants)
I have some coconut flour that I have been meaning to put to good use – this is perfect!
Tiffany
found you by stumbln. I have now gone back through every single post to the beginning. You are one of my daily website checks! Super cute napkins (I have the same ones). And UMMMMMM YUMMY!!!!
laura @ glutton for nourishment
yum! i’ve been on a big coconut kick lately, too. i definitely want to try these.
Jesse
ever since i was home and my mother made chocolate and coconut covered matzoh for passover/easter i can’t get enough coconut in my life. i can’t believe i wasted over 30 years convinced that coconut was vile when it’s really perfect.
Anne @ Baking Me
I have never baked with coconut flour before, but it sounds great! I am going to try my hand at gluten-baking. I recently picked up some garbonzo bean and brown rice flours and I am going to make a gluten-free cake or cupcake soon. Next time I will definitely have to try the coconut flour :)
Liv @ The Salty n' Sweet
This is like coconut heaven!! I haven’t ever thought of baking with coconut FLOUR, but it’s such a great idea. Is it substitutable for all purpose in recipes??
It’s interesting how dark the waffles turned out, I’d expect coconut flour to be lighter, but is that because of the maple syrup and peanut butter??
joythebaker
yea. coconut flour bakes up darker than expected.
Urban Wife
For someone (ahem, me) who isn’t a fan of coconut in the least, these look delicious! Maybe I could try a different flavor…Hmmm. :)
jen @ the baked life
I’m a total coconut junkie. Plus I have a love/hate relationship with gluten and wheat and junk.
These would be super awesome with some grilled pineapple on top. With syrup. duh.
Cindy
Hi Joy! We met at the Woori Markert Plaza last night! I wanted to tell you that I bought matcha powder last night! Today’s goal is to make Lemon and Matcha Marble Pound Cake!
Rach
I have no go-to gluten free baking moves at all, partly because I’m intimidated by all the xanthan gums and whatnot, but I can totally deal with coconut flour. After all, I always, always have coconut oil on hand. Admittedly I just marinate my hair in it, but it’s still edible, right? I can’t wait to try this for my gluten free peeps!
Kat @ Cupcake kat
This sounds incredibly delicious. I’ve been on a coconut kick lately too. Everything should have coconut in it! I recently bought coconut flour (doesn’t it smell amazing?) and I have been happily experimenting with it so I will try this recipe. In my opinion everything should have some form of coconut in it. Coconut is good for you and it tastes yummy. I love coconut.

Joy, gluten free never looked so decadent. I’m dying over here! Waffles are now a need and not a want!

I am a complete coconut junkie and no one else in my house will eat it. Perhaps this is the recipe they’ll fall in love with. Perhaps this is the recipe I will enjoy all by myself! ;)

Coconut craziness! These sound wonderful! I might just love fresh pineapple with these little puppies. Actually I would probably cover the pineapple in cream and maple syrup and call it good when it happens to be sandwiched by coconut waffles.

I’ve never tried baking with coconut flour but these look very tasty and such a lovely rich colour. Yum!

These are lovely, Joy! I like how I can come to your blog and always be surprised. You constantly try new things.

Oh I am in love with these already! Funny I was just researching last night for a good coconut flour pancake recipe but this will be do the trick just fine :) I can’t wait to make these, I am loving your coconut flour kick as I too love coconut flour and oil and flakes and…and…oh coconut butter have you tried that yet? Coconut milk, coconut water? They are all good. I make cocokefir for my daughter and it cleared her eczema…wonderful stuff God made!

What is cocokefir? My great neice and nephew both have eczema that isn’t being handled very well. I’d like to offer some help. Thanks.
