“On New Years Day we are of course, like everybody else, tired and always get fries so I wanted to start the day healthy.”

Coffee waffles with chocolate. A healthy breakfast recipe to start the year healthy. Dark chocolate and espresso complete these gluten free waffles.

2019 has already started a few days ago and I find it time to share a healthy breakfast recipe with you. A lot of people want to eat more healthy or lose weight in the new year. I believe that it is not about limiting yourself, because than it won’t work. At leas that is how it works with me, I eat healthy in basis and sometimes I do eat unhealthy as well. But by enjoying the healthy food you will continue this lifestyle and maintain it as well. That way you will lose weight and stay fit and healthy permanently. That usually works better than moving to juices and salads, because when you are going back to normal after that you will gain weight again as well.

I also made conscious choices during the Holidays to don’t eat that much all day but by choosing balance. Did I eat too much (unhealthy)? Than I would eat less and more healthy, an extra juice some extra water and I would feel fine. By choosing to eat unhealthy even if you have already eaten unhealthy you don’t feel happy anymore. That also is what makes you want to go back to ‘normal’ and feel bloated. How did I do that during the Holidays? Like I said it is all about choices.

On the first day of Christmas I started with a relatively healthy breakfast. A nice light breakfast consisting of yogurt, warm apple, cinnamon and a crumble. Before we went to my parents I decided to make an oatmeal porridge. With my parents we had nice bites and afterwards a three-course dinner with a sugar bomb dessert. I loved it, but it was quite a lot as well. That is also why I decided to relax with my breakfast the next day. I had a light breakfast with yogurt and apple later in the morning and also the lunch was light and later in the afternoon.

At the beginning of the evening we went to my parents in law were we had turkey, nice low-fat meat with some vegetables and I was happy again. I didn’t have dessert this time. I felt that I had enough and made this decision consciously. There was a lot of turkey left so I could make a healthy lunch for the upcoming 2 days, a pasta and a quinoa salad with turkey. Love to work on my balance like that. The day after Christmas we again ate healthy with a salad and that gave me a really good feeling. Not just because I love eating healthy, but also because I did enjoy the Holidays.

We spend New Years Eve at my parents in law and we also ate really good, we got to pick our own dinner. Jens and I had picked this stone with marinated pork tenderloin, vegetables and potatoes. 30 minutes in the oven and we had a nice healthy meal. The next morning I woke up at my parents in law and everybody was still sleeping. I woke up hungry (story of my life). I saw sweet fritters, but decided to pick something more healthy. On New Years Day we are of course, like everybody else tired and always get fries so I wanted to start the day healthy. In the fridge I found yogurt and in the cupboard oatmeal and honey and I had a healthy breakfast. After we had gone to our grandparents we arrived home at 1.30 in the afternoon and I was again hungry. I found a dark banana and made this nutritional lunch.

Quite a long introduction to a recipe. But this might give you an insight in how I live and eat healthy also during the Holidays. And the recipe of this week, these coffee waffles with chocolate fits perfectly in that healthy lifestyle.

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Baking time: Approximately 5 minutes per waffle
Amount: 6 waffles

Special Products:

Mixing Bowl
Cutting Boards
Big Knife
Waffle Iron

Gluten free

Lactose free

No refined sugars added

100% organic ingredients

Ingredients

200 grams buckwheat flour
5 grams baking soda
50 grams honey
1 egg
150 milliliters almond milk*
1 espresso
25 grams dark lactose free chocolate

Coconut oil to grease

* By replacing the almond milk for another plant based drink you can make the recipe nut free.

How to make it?

Preheat the waffle iron. In the meantime put the buckwheat flour in a mixing bowl (or the bowl of your mixer if you use that) and add the baking soda, honey, egg, almond milk and the espresso to it.

Mix all ingredients into a smooth batter.

Next chop the chocolate into smaller pieces with a knife. You can make them as small or big as you like.

When you have a nice smooth batter you can stir the chocolate through with a spoon. If you mix it in the mixer, the bite will be gone. Optionally you can set aside some extra chocolate to decorate the waffles with.

Grease the waffle iron very well with coconut oil, divide for example with a butter tassel over the top and bottom.

Next divide 3 table spoons of batter per waffle over the waffle iron and let them bake.

With me it went quite quick, but it takes approximately 5 minutes per waffle. Continue until you are out of batter.

Optionally decorate with some extra chocolate and you can enjoy these delicious healthy breakfast waffles with coffee and chocolate for a perfect start of your day.
