Raspberry Coconut Flax Waffles - light and fluffy waffles with a perfectly crispy exterior, these fruit flavored stacks are great for brunch or weekend breakfast!
errryday I'm wafflein'
All right, not every day. Special days, birthdays.
Jason had a birthday last weekend, and the dogs and I got up early and made him breakfast in bed.
This time of year we visit the farmers market all the time, and I always have at least two pints of fresh raspberries on hand. Too often I simply eat them by the handful, or use them as a topping, like here with these waffles.
This time though, I also added raspberries to the waffle batter. A slight flavor, but a good one - lightly sweet and summery, with a double dose of coconut.

What a DELICIOUS and sweet spin on flax. This is another time that I'm wishing I had a waffle iron, because I would be making this for sure!!
Kristina Sloggett says
they really had a good flavor - subtle, but that was nice.
Kath (My Funny Little Life) says
Oooooohh waffles! I used to love waffles! So good to know that you can make healthy waffles, I want some! 😀 I just don't have a waffle iron. 🙁
Kristina Sloggett says
I know they're not quite the same, but you could make these into pancakes? 🙂
Kath (My Funny Little Life) says
Yes probably. And if it turns out this way of eating is continuing to go as well as it's currently going, I'll think about purchasing a waffle iron.

Yay waffles!! And the raspberry coconut flavoring makes them even more decadent.
Kristina Sloggett says
hi Steph! yes, the raspberry flavor was subtle - really nice! fresh raspberries on top was just perfect - they are SO GOOD right now!! hope all is well with you, Mama - have a great week!
sarah says
YUM! I have a very similar recipe that includes almond extract....and coconut butter so tasty! But I haven't tried coconut flour, I never have much luck with that flour! I will for sure have to try these:)
Kristina Sloggett says
I know, coconut flour is very hit and miss. I find if I mix it with another flour it is more friendly... 😉
Ashley F. says
Yum! I have only started liking raspberries the last couple of years -but now I absolutely love them. Gorgeous pics and recipe!
Kristina Sloggett says
I was that way about strawberries - never really cared for them until just a few years ago... but raspberries will always be my favorite.
Eileen says
Yes to waffles! I have the same problem with eating all the raspberries before I can make anything out of them, but I think I'd exercise my willpower for this. 🙂
Kristina Sloggett says
that's why I always have to buy a whole flat... so I can eat a pint or two as is!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Unrealted, but can I just say how jealous I was of you and Lauren hanging this weekend??? Glad you guys had fun!
Kristina Sloggett says
I know, it was SO AWESOME to finally meet her! we did get to spend a bit of time together, too, which was nice! 🙂
Marlene @Nosh My Way says
Um, yes, please. I would love to have some. But no way I am waiting until December for my birthday. You can make these for me any time SOON>
Kristina Sloggett says
anytime you are back in Portland... 😉
