While we're all obsessed by green smoothies, protein bars and avocado toast on week days, by the weekend we're often craving a bit of a treat, a brunch with friends and family, or just a simple indulgence that's a departure from our daily routines. While traditional recipes of flapjacks, eggs benny, or scones can all be diet-crashers, some of our favorites don't have to be by making simple ingredient substitutions.
Most waffle recipes rely on grain-based flours, which many people can't have, or don't consume based on a wheat-free or gluten free diet. Instead we've substitued flour with plantains and added in a scoop of our Premium Grass-Fed Beef Gelatin for a protein-rich alternative that's delicious.
For those unfamiliar with the benefits of Beef Gelatin, this all-natural product is a non-GMO collagen protein supplement that contains 18 amino-acids for healthy skin, hair, joints, and gut health. Amandean's Beef Gelatin is sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows in South America and is a great way to use collagen in baking and cooking because of its thickening properties.
3 plantains (Use yellow plantains if you want to increase the sweetness)
2 cups full fat coconut milk
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
2 eggs
1 Tbsp organic vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 Scoops of Amandean's Grass-Fed Beef Gelatin
1 tsp baking soda
