Gluten Free & Casein Free: Almond & Tapioca Flour Waffles



Preheat Waffle Iron

3 Cups almond flour
1/4 Cup tapioca flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp xanthum gum
1.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs melted almond butter
2 Tbs olive oil
1 Cup of water
1/8-1/5 tsp of cinnamon

Combine all ingredients, starting with dry working your way to went. Mix well. Batter will seem thicker than typical waffle mix and will form well on medium heat settings. Watching it for several minutes, longer than typical waffles as well. I like to take a fork and try to gently lift the sides, once it has cooked long enough it will be golden brown and will come out without a glitch!

Serve with pure maple syrup or agave nectar, enjoy!

2 Cups shredded coconut

1/2 tsp almond extract

Stir together in bowl. I also use my hands to blend as it helps get everything together.

Line small square pan with parchment paper; I like it to be larger than the pan so it works on the sides as well. Spray paper with coconut oil (or other non-stick spray). Spread the mixture into the pan evenly and chill in freezer for two hours. Cut into small squares; serve chilled.

Combine kuzu root with 2-3TBS boiling water to dissolve, set aside. In small saucepan bring remaining items to a light boil, stirring frequently.

Add kuzu root, about half at a time, stirring as it thickens. Turn heat off and continue to stir until desired consistency is reached. If any separation of the liquids occurs use spoon to hold frosting in pan and dump out the excess water.
