Buckwheat waffles with bacon, egg, avocado and sriracha

GLUTEN FREE II DAIRY FREE II NUT FREE II SESAME FREE

If your looking for a delicious filling and nutritious breakfast look no further. I’m always looking for healthy gluten free bread alternatives for my clients and these waffles hit the mark.

If you follow a gluten free diet then you will probably already know that what’s offered in the way of gluten free breads in the supermarket are god awful, dry and cardboardy type breads that fall apart as soon as you breath!

These waffles can be made ahead, frozen and popped in the toaster for a few minutes. You can use them in place of bread for sandwiches, top with a nut butter and honey, or avocado and pumpkin butter ( my favourite).

They are quite incredible and so versatile. Enjoy!!

Notes on ingredients

Milk

Any type of milk is good for this recipe. I personally prefer rude health barista variety as its much thicker than the watery milks in the supermarkets that are good for nothing and curdle in your tea ( I mean what's the point???

Buckwheat flour

This is my favorite type of flour to cook with, however if you used plain GF flour instead that would work really well.

Bacon

Streaky bacon is best for this recipe as once you grill them they get really crispy. My best recommendation would be to try to source nitrate free bacon. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said bacon cured with nitrites is as dangerous as asbestos and smoking, as nitrites produce carcinogenic nitrosamines when ingested. Try this brand by our beloved M&S

Tips & FAQ

• If you don’t have a waffle maker, use the batter for pancakes instead.

• You can also use the waffle mixture as a sweet option. Omit the onions, garlic and onion powder and once cooked just add berries, coconut yoghurt and drizzle over melted chocolate or my vegan salted caramel recipe, take a look here.

• Pre heat the waffle maker for 10/15 minutes and do a test one first.

• You could serve this breakfast with smoked salmon instead of bacon it would taste lovely with poached eggs.

• Use these waffles as a great bread alternative so replace it for toast and top with honey.
