Crispy Peanut Butter Waffles

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Crispy golden Peanut Butter Waffles are easy and egg/grain free! Sweet, salty, with a little cinnamon. Pile on your fave toppings for a delicious breakfast!

Crispy Peanut Butter Waffles (vegan + grain-free)

What started as a mission to attempt a powdered sugar “snow” shot turned into the delicious creation of these vegan, grain-free, perfectly Crispy Peanut Butter Waffles. And I (sort of) got the winter wonderland shot I had envisioned too. A very good morning indeed.

But even if you skip all the sugar and theatrics, the waffles themselves will make your wednesday or weekend morning feel like a treat. Especially if you happen to accidentally on purpose drop a big handful of chocolate chips into the batter (optional, but not NOT recommended).

Crispy Peanut Butter Waffles (vegan + grain-free)

These crispy pb waffles are:

  • Vegan and grain-free (plus easily made paleo if you use almond or sunflower seed butter instead).
  • Made with coconut flour!
  • Not too sweet, we have to leave room for maple to work it’s syrupy magic.
  • Small but stackable.
  • Extra golden and crispy, especially if you make them small like I did. Because smaller = more edges. See what I did there.
  • One bowl. 10 ingredients. We’re talking sooooooo low maintenance here, friends.

Pictured above: The part where I ran out of maple syrup for pouring on top but didn’t want to ruin my background styling, so I found the tiniest jar of honey hiding in the back of my pantry (welcome gift from when I moved in two apartments ago) and swapped that in instead. Vegans don’t hate me.

    Could you make these without a waffle iron in a normal pan ? Would it work ?

      Should be fine, yes! They might not get as crispy without all those nooks and crannies, but still delish 🙂

      That should work, yes! I would use it in place of both the coconut and tapioca though, and you may need more (closer to 3/4-1 cup) since its not as dry as coconut. Hope they turn out delish!

    What a stellar treat to wake up to! You can even serve mini waffles as little snacks or desserts at a party or a Valentine’s Day banquet! Peanut butter is such a lovely food, after all. They indeed look crispy and delicious!

      Oooh I love that idea! Who says valentines can only be chocolate and berries all day long. Although both of those paired with these would be delish😉

    “Vegans don’t hate me.” 😂😂😂 that perfect, slow drip though…nicely photographed. The edges of waffles are obviously the BEST part, so it’s pretty genius to make the waffles small!! And the ingredient list??? You’ve worked your magic again with coconut flour! I have a PB obsessed little human here who will love these! Can’t wait to make them ❤️

      Lol just trying to preemptively ward off any bee comments😂 But yes had lots of fun photographing these with all the different kinds of sweet syrupy toppings! Ha so maybe a batch just like this for her and a sunbutter/tahini version for you? I have tried them with almond butter too, there is really no wrong way to go here😋😋 Happy Sunday my dear💞

    Hello again Natalie! I rate this recipe 4 stars but they taste absolutely 5! Because even with a semi-pro waffle maker, I was never able to have crispy edges and you don’t talk about how to achieve that in your recipe unfortunately :/ do you set your waffle maker to medium/max heat, cook longer..? I’ve tried different techniques for the waffles but didn’t get there. However they were absolutely divine, and I was very happy with my healthy treat. Thanks again Natalie!(as you can see I’ve begun another week with your website xD)

      I’m happy you liked the taste! So what I do with my waffle maker is set it to medium (3) temp and then let it go for a little longer after the buzzer goes off (like 30-1 minute extra) That way they don’t burn or get too brown but do crisp up more. I also spray it with coconut oil which probably adds a little crispiness too. Hope that helps!

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

-1/4 cup (30g) almond flour
-2 tbsp (50g) coconut oil

Simmer over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently until it begins to thicken and become syrupy. Smash with a fork until the berries are mostly broken down.  Spoon on top of the cheesecake mixture and use the back of a spoon to swirl. Freeze overnight. Slice into bars and enjoy. Keep leftovers in the freezer.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
