Almond & Yogurt Waffles with Orange Honey Syrup

Abashedly I tell you that before this weekend I never had the pleasure of making waffles. No doubt I perfected the classic toaster Eggo as a child, but I had never laid my hands on this beauty until now. I am not quite sure why it took so long to note that such an iconic breakfast staple was absent from my repertoire, but I assure you these Saturday waffles will grace our table every weekend and perhaps on those lazy week nights when those "breakfast for dinner" cravings set in.

It is a simple batter really. Almond flour, eggs, spices, banana and yogurt, all of which you most likely have on hand.  I have the faithful hens of Jones Valley Urban Farm to thank for sharing their gorgeous eggs. From my roost to yours I thank you.

So if ever making waffles was on my bucket list I now gladly mark at as "done....and will do again". I hope these brighten up your weekend morning as much as it did ours. And while we all start to scratch that Spring itch may we remember that citrus season is at its peak, embrace it!

Almond  & Yogurt Waffles (makes 6 medium sized waffles)

• 3 cups almond flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 TBS honey
• 1/2 cup yogurt (SCDers use SCD legal yogurt)
• 1 very ripe banana, mashed with a fork

Combine all dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the wet ingredients and whisk until a batter forms. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto a greased waffle iron a cook for 2 minutes. (all waffle irons vary in temperature so you may need more or less time).

Orange Honey Syrup

• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 TBS of orange zest
• juice from 1/2 an orange

Whisk ingredients until it turns to a smooth syrup. Pour over waffles and enjoy!

What a beautiful idea for a breakfast! These look so mouthwatering... I just know what I'll have for breakfast tommorow. Thank you so much for photos, videos and all the beauty you bring in my world with your blog :-).

[Mrs Ergül]

I watched the video after my first comment and I must tell you I love the style it is done in. Absolutely lovely.

[Ruskin]

This is so beautifully filmed. I love the bird song throughout. I want to step into the film. With that in mind, we don't have waffle irons in the UK generally. Who made your beautiful iron?

[Cristina | Positively Beauty]

Delicious-looking waffles! I love the video, congratulations :) Just shared on twitter.

[Caroline @ chocolate & carrots]

What a beautiful and healthy breakfast! Always such amazing photos. I'm drooling all over the computer right now. ;-)

[Rosa]

Fabulous waffles! Really tempting. I'm bookmarking that recipe.

Amazing pictures, as always.

Cheers,

Rosa

[Marie]

I am in love with your recipes, your photos and your videos! It is 10 PM in Australia but I am now craving these waffles. Thank you!

[Calantha @ piecurious]

I just started off my morning with your lovely, calming little video and I don't think my day can be anything but lovely now too!

[Kim]

These waffles and their syrup looks so yummy!

[Beth]

Besides how beautiful your post is, I wanted to tell you how perfect I think your new "Roost" header is! I love it!

[sweet road]

Beautiful videos and photo! These waffles look so nostalgic for me, I remember it was always a special treat when my dad brought out the waffle maker. I like how you also used yogurt and banana in the recipe.

[Nicole Franzen]

coco! I love this! Adore your videos, so warm and cosy. The birds chirping made me excited for Spring. No better way to start the weekend then to make waffles and tea :) x N

[Connie]

I LOVE the new header! Very well done! The waffles sound amazing as well, but I am puzzling out what to use in place of the yogurt. We live in a small town and lactose free yogurt is hard to come by. I think I will try making a buttermilk type substitute out of my almond milk and see if that does the trick.

[Kathryn]

OMG Coco I LOVE LOVE your knew layout!! Its my favorite you've done so far (though I simply adored the old one too!) The roll over images on your links are too cute!!!!

[Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free]

Coco, your videos and pictures always put me at ease. Will you please come to my house and make all my meals?

[Divya]

So nice that your husband is making the waffles, my husband has that designated task as well. Lovely video, looking forward to seeing more!

As always, your post has brought a smile to my face. Such beauty in such simple things :-)

[Willa]

This looks so gorgeous. I just had the urge to make a fancy breakfast. Maybe this will be what makes it on the table!

[Hayley Daen]

these are absolutely beautiful. I don't have a waffle maker- any way they would work as pancakes? also, love the site makeover!

[Kristin]

You have done it again, Coco- GORGEOUS photos and mouth watering recipe! Can I come live with you? I know I'm a chef and all, but I have yet to create such beautiful grain-free delicacies! I will try these for sure- I love waffles.

xoxo

[susan]

As always, simply and utterly gorgeous. I am making a lot of GF waffles and flash freezing them for hectic, weekday mornings. However, I love this grain free version. They are at the top of my list. On a more superficial note, love your white, porcelin measuring cups. where did you get those??

[Gyda]

Wow what a lovely and beautiful breakfast.
Loved the video. Makes me happy.
Love from Vermont.
Gyda.

[Adrienne]

I actually eat pancakes every morning, whether it be made of buckwheat, almond flour, or rice flour. I adore waffles though, which probably means I should give this recipe a try. Lovely layout too!

[Maria]

Everything here is just wonderful, there's something magical in these pictures that comforts me... Beautiful work. I can't wait to trying these.
Have a nice day,
M.

[Madhu]

My heart skipped a beat seeing these beautiful pictures! My name Madhu means honey or miel in Sanskrit and, wait, my second name is Madhi which means moon!:-)

[Dana]

loving the new look!!! :) After watching this video & reading your past posts, I've come to the conclusion that you & your hubby should adopt me so I can feast with you!!! :) have a wonderful week!!! xo,dana

[Courtney]

Lovely new layout and lovely new recipe!! Your recipe and pictures have answered the questions I had over whether or not to invest in a waffle iron.

[Jennifer]

These look SOOOOO delicious!

And what gorgeous eggs! You're one lucky girl!

[Rikki]

Those are the most beautiful waffles I've ever seen! They are definitely convincing me to try and make my own. Your photos are so beautiful and bright. [:

[Claire]

how could this video be any more enchanting???! I love it!! It totally made me happy. I'm sharing this post wherever I can! *Happy sigh*

[Helene @ Homebound]

Coco, please keep the videos coming. i'm in love again with this one :-) beautiful music choice as well. chapeau for a simple yet lovely recipe. with you it it feels like a piece of art or a beautiful little poem. thank you, have a lovely day. xo, Helene

[Lan]

my favorite part is that it's obvious you guys were still in your pjs, hanging out in the kitchen & making the first meal of the day together. i love that.

[CEC]

Beautiful! Do you think you could use this recipe for pancakes?

[Ashley]

Wow! The golden color is just perfect and I love your orange honey syrup. I can't even imagine how well that paired with the flavors in the waffles. Lovely!

[la domestique]

So beautiful! I just noticed your new banner (not sure if I had missed it before or if it's new) and I love it! In regards to waffles, my husband and I each gifted the other the same waffle maker for Christmas a few years ago. :) We're big waffle fans.

[AC]

LOVE the video!!! Everything that you create is simply gorgeous. The waffles look delicious. I will definitely make them.

[Becky]

Everything about this post and your entire blog is simply lovely. Your photos, videos, and writing style are all so beautiful and the reason that yours is one of my absolute favorite blogs and an inspirational work of art to me! These look delicious; I was already a waffle freak but I love the idea of combining almond flour and yogurt. I'm suddently quite impatient for Sunday morning...

[Hereta Cervantes]

Your videos always make me feel so relaxed, they are just so enjoyable to watch....not to mention how delicious the food looks. I am new to this blog and I just wanted to say that I love your site, I wish i could try most recipes but I am on a special diet, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution trying to reverse my diabetes. I am succeeding. Once again, love your videos and i will definitely try these waffles, minus the honey.

[Bev Weidner]

You can waffles look like frickin' ART!

<3

[Adrienne @ How To Ice a Cake]

I love your measuring cups! Where did you get them?

[sreebindu]

am in to try this week-end. yumm..yumm..

[Verena]

beautiful as always: the video, the music, the pictures, the birdsongs and even the waffle iron! wish you always peaceful and pretty sundays.

[Kasey]

Gorgeous, as always, Coco. I have yet to buy a waffle maker (my kitchen is overrun with so many toys already!) but you are definitely doing a good job of convincing me. Also, my husband and I just purchased a Chemex and are in love. I feel like it's the only way I'll drink coffee now. Have you ever tried brewing tea in it?

[Cecilia]

We have GOT to stop eating gluten (my daughter has bad eczema), and this recipe is a great incentive. I can't imagine a life without treats. (I guess I can, only if includes a life without scratching.)

[NicoleD]

Wow, simply gorgeous. All of the flavors sound incredible. Well done.

[Toni @ Boulder Locavore]

Coco, another masterpiece! You so artfully relate the essence of a life leaving us all wanting to move into it I'm sure. The waffles are gorgeous and the video, well what everyone dreams their Saturday mornings will feel like. Beautiful.

[Sarah Jane]

Ooh these look SO tasty!
Love the photos- those eggs are quite beautiful.

[jana]

ok, i think i just died a little * _ *
just when i thought your kitchen notes cannot be any prettier
this little movie made it even more incredible.
beautifully shot, with those neat flares...
lovely.

[Lizzy (Good Things)]

Coco, this is a work of art from beginning to end. Loving the pyjamas, too, sets the mood beautifully. Birdsong is delightful, you are a cook after my own heart!

[Magda | My Little Expat Kitchen]

What a beautiful video Coco. I love the music you used.
I'm a big fan of waffles even though I don't make them that often at home. I love your recipe, and I will be trying it very soon!
Thank you!
