Don’t pigeon-hole your breakfast! This innovative, healthy take on the morning classic is positively divine (and nutritious). You'll never taste the collagen, but you'll get the effects of strengthening, hydrating and protecting your skin. That's a great way to start the day!

What kid doesn’t love waffles?! (Even us big kids do.)

These grain-free, crispy waffles are made entirely of ground flaxseed. They’re also gluten-free, paleo, vegan + keto-friendly.

Flaxseeds are packed with protein and fiber, along with a ton of other vitamins and minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese). It’s also an excellent source of iron, which kids can be low in. The fat in flaxseeds is a plant based form of healthy omega-3 fats, which are an essential fat all kids need.

Dress up your waffles either sweet or savory by infusing them with fresh herbs or ground cinnamon.

Make it sweet: Once your waffles are complete, top these bad boys with your favorite fruits like strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. Add a dollop of coconut cream.

Make it savory: Add fresh herbs into the batter, such as rosemary, parsley and thyme or a combo of all three. Top with roasted veggies, shredded chicken, avocado, sautéed onions, such as a waffle sandwich. My kids also love their waffles topped with eggs, bacon, and syrup.

Ingredients

2 cups roughly ground golden flaxseed

1 Tbsp gluten-free baking powder

1 tsp sea salt

5 large eggs

½ cup water

1/3 cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil

1 Tbsp fresh herbs, such as rosemary, parsley and thyme (if making savory) or 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Heat your waffle maker to medium, or your desired setting for crisp waffles.

Combine flax seed with baking powder and sea salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine fully and set aside.

Add eggs, water and oil to the jug of your high-powered blender (it must be a blender or this recipe will not work). Blend on high for 30 seconds, until foamy.

Transfer foamy liquid mixture to the bowl with the flaxseed mixture.

Stir with a spatula, just until incorporated. The mixture will be very fluffy. Once incorporated, allow to sit for 3 minutes to firm up. Be patient. It will get thicker and thicker.

Add in your fresh herbs or ground cinnamon.

Makes about 4 servings so scoop each, one at a time, onto the preheated waffle maker and close the top. Cook until you get the desired crispiness and repeat with remaining batter.
