These AIP Cassava Flour Waffles are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and completely grain-free, dairy-free, and egg-free. Perfect for those following an Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) or paleo diet, they’re a wholesome and delicious breakfast option that feels indulgent yet nourishing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cassava flour (Otto’s brand recommended)
  • 2 cups milk of choice (coconut or tigernut milk for AIP)
  • 6 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • ¼ cup collagen peptides (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons maple sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Plug in your waffle iron to heat. If it’s not non-stick, lightly grease it with coconut oil spray.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cassava flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted ghee/coconut oil, milk, apple cider vinegar, and maple sugar until smooth.
  4. Make the Batter: Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until you have a thick batter—don’t thin it out.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Scoop batter into the preheated waffle iron (about two-thirds full to allow for expansion). Close the lid and cook for about 4–5 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Carefully remove waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Top with fresh fruit, coconut yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet touch.
  • For a savory twist, pair with avocado slices or breakfast sausage.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use Otto’s cassava flour for best results; other brands may yield denser waffles.
  • The batter should be thick—this is key for egg-free waffles to hold their shape.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • To freeze, lay waffles flat on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag.
  • Reheat in a toaster for crispy edges or microwave for softer waffles.
