Gluten Free Espresso Chocolate Chip Waffles

March 4, 2015 by Hillary 6 Comments

Light and nutty – with a hint of espresso and morsels of semi-sweet chocolate – these gluten-free oat waffles are a breakfast treat.


Are there any long time readers out there who remember Waffle Wednesdays? In the early days of Nutrition Nut, these were a regular occurrence: toaster waffles for breakfast on Wednesdays. As toaster waffles became a less frequent AM meal option, Waffle Wednesday gradually transformed into Workout Wednesday.

Well, today I am back with a waffle recipe. I never lost my love for waffles (never will!); but, rather than choosing calorie-dense gluten-free toaster waffles with a paragraph of ingredients for weekday morning meals, I have saved my love affair for waffles to the weekends.

I’ve made Kate’s Gluten Free Oat Waffles a few times now, and they do not disappoint. P still prefers almond meal waffles, but I’ll choose the nuttiness of ground oats mixed with almond/cashew milk, a couple farm fresh eggs, and maple syrup any day.

I adapted Kate’s recipe to create a buzzin’ morning recipe. When two glasses of iced coffee isn’t enough, add espresso powder to your breakfast!

Gluten-Free Espresso Chocolate Chip Waffles
Author: Hillary
Recipe type: Breakfast
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  10 mins
Total time:  25 mins
Serves: 6 large waffle squares
 
These gluten-free waffles are light and nutty, with a hint of espresso and semi-sweet chocolate morsels.
Ingredients
  • 1½ c. oat flour*
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. instant espresso powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¾ c. room temperature milk of choice (I use almond or cashew milk)
  • ¼ c. melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ⅓ c. mini chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oat flour, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. Plug in the waffle iron to preheat and grease with coconut oil.
  5. Pour batter onto the heated waffle iron - square by square - and close the lid.
  6. Once the waffle is deeply golden and crisp, transfer it to a cooling rack (or plate if serving immediately).
  7. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve waffles with maple syrup and fresh raspberries, or any other desired toppings.
Notes
*I grind rolled oats in a food processor, approx. 1½ cups

This recipe is adapted from Cookie & Kate's Easy Gluten Free Oat Waffles.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
