HEALTHY APPLE CINNAMON WAFFLES
WHAT
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs, 1 egg white
- 1 cup of coconut milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 green apple, peeled, shredded
- 1 heaping tbsp greek yogurt
- 2-4 tbsp melted butter (or any oil of your choice) the more butter/oil utilized the “crispier on the outside” effect will be elevated
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour (oat flour)
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 2 tbsp organic cane sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- cinnamon to taste
Toppings
- Caramel sauce
- Pecan pieces
- Almond butter
- Shredded coconut
Optional:
- Maple syrup
- Green apple slices for garnishing
HOW
- Mix together all wet ingredient minus the shredded green apple.
- Mix together all dry ingredients.
- Add dry mixture to wet until well incorporated, only then adding shredded apples. The batter will be thick.
- Preheat waffle iron and prepare it with coconut oil spray.
- Spoon batter into waffle and prepare according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Should yield 4 large waffles or 8 standard waffles (I used a heart shaped waffle iron because it was Valentine’s Day!
- Top your waffles with almond butter, sprinkle shredded coconut, pecans pieces and drizzle with caramel sauce and fresh apples on top! Maple syrup is optional and a delicious addition.
I’m in love with these waffles. I already knew apple and cinnamon went together, but the use of coconut milk in the batter and shredded coconut as a topping made it a home run for sure. Refrain from substituting those ingredients for optimal results!
I hope you make it and enjoy it as much as I did!

This is good stuff Olivia!!! ???? thanks doll!
can i not use the apple shreds in this recipe? thanks!
Certainly can!!!
just made these for my hubby and he really enjoyed it. Used banana slices for toppings per his request. So good you wouldn’t think it’s healthy 🙂
Right??? I get amazed by this stuff sometimes!
Hi, I’m Dana! I create simple, delicious recipes that require 10 ingredients or less, one bowl, or 30 minutes or less to prepare.
Am I able to store in the fridge leftover waffle or pancake batter?
Yes for up to 2 days. Otherwise make the actual pancakes or waffles and freeze them. Warm them up when you are ready to eat them again!
Thank you for this… ????
My pleasure! Love to share with you!
Excited to try these soon! Do you recommend a specific brand of almond butter?
I use maranatha or 365 from whole foods. Any brand will do or you can even blend your own. I do that sometimes! I hope you make it, is me know how it turns out!
What can you use in place of the greek yogurt that would be dairy free? thanks!
Oh my, these are fantastic! I used oat flour instead of whole wheat and 1/4 applesauce instead of the yogurt and they were SO good. These are our new fav!
Yay I’m so happy about that!!! Thanks for letting me know!
