Chinese 5 Spice Sweet Potato Paleo Waffles

I wanted waffle plates for my Cuisine Art Panini Press/Griddle for years.  I mean years.  I registered for them for my wedding and like the majority of our registry, it was never bought or gifted.

5 years later it's Christmas 2016 and my husband is telling me not to open any packages from Amazon.

Well, this happened...

Hilarity Aside. I was thrilled to finally get my waffle plates!

Add the coconut flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and salt and beat until well mixed.

Spray waffle iron with preferred lubricant and cook waffles according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Top with maple syrup, strawberries or blueberries or both!  Add a little unsweetened whipped coconut cream if you are feeling indulgent.

For fast chopping of the strawberries, this chronic pain warrior uses her egg slicer...

Enjoy!
