Ingredients (Makes ~4 waffles)
- 50g Ceremonial Cacao
- 250g gluten-free flour
- 125g coconut sugar
- 125g unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Plus:
- Apple purée or applesauce
- Nut butter (like peanut butter)
- Milk of choice Oats (optional for texture)
How to Make Chocolate Apple Fitness Waffles
Step 1: Prepare the Cacao
Blend your ceremonial cacao into a fine powder if needed.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together:
- Egg
- Nut butter
- Apple purée
- Milk
Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add:
- Flour
- Cacao
- Coconut sugar
- Salt Vanilla
Mix until you get a smooth batter. The texture should be similar to thick porridge — not too runny.
👉 Tip: If too thin, add a little more oats or flour.
Step 4: Rest the Batter
Cover and let the batter rest in the fridge for around 20 minutes. This helps create fluffier waffles and improves texture.
Step 5: Cook the Waffles
Pour the batter into a preheated waffle maker and cook according to your machine instructions until golden and cooked through.
How to Serve
Serve warm with your favourite toppings:
- Fresh fruit (berries, banana, apple slices)
- A drizzle of maple syrup
- Nut butter
- Yoghurt Extra cacao drizzle for the ultimate chocolate hit 🍫
