These Paleo Waffles are made with a blend of Cassava flour, coconut flour and potato starch. Cassava flour is different from tapioca flour. Cassava flour comes from the whole yucca root (aka cassava root), meaning it is a whole food. It is the yucca root, peeled, dried and finely ground. On the other hand, tapioca flour contains only the starch of the yucca AKA cassava root. Cassava flour is naturally gluten free, paleo friendly and even on the auto-immune protocol. My favorite brand of cassava and grain free flour is Anthony Goods, most of their flours are organic and all is certified gluten free. They are the most affordable brand I have found, have great quality and bulk discounts.
I have found that cassava flour works best blended with other flours for baking. It does work great on it's own for tortillas, you can check out my Paleo Tortilla's 2.0 made only with Cassava Flour. They are delicious!
When I made these for breakfast, my kids did not even know the difference from my original Belgian Best Gluten Free Waffles! I make these in a Belgian Waffle Maker and they make 2 huge Belgian Waffles! I love this waffle maker! It takes only 2 minutes per waffle so breakfast is ready in less than 15 minutes! My kids actually split one of these huge Paleo Waffles with Cassava flour because they are so filling!
I am excited that these passed the test and that they will be available for our gluten free/Paleo community who are nut free! Let us know in the comments below how you like these!

Julie says
These are delicious. I've made so many Paleo waffles and these rank among the best, especially considering they're nut free.
(I subbed arrowroot starch for the potato starch and white vinegar in place of ACV)
Ester Perez says
That is great to hear Julie! I am so glad that you enjoyed the recipe 🙂 Thanks for sharing your substitutions.
Warmly,
Ester

I’ve made these at least half a dozen times, so clearly I like them. The only changes I’ve made is to add some spices and a tablespoon of agave nectar. Does anyone else get a gummy texture in the center? I find they get dry if I cook them any longer. No matter, I’ll continue to make them and my kids love them.
Ester Perez says
So glad you enjoy these! Warmly, Ester
Jami says
These were delicious and filling. I tripled the recipe for my large family of 7 and I was able to get 18 square waffles from my regular waffle maker. Thanks for the recipe! We also love your other grain-free waffle recipe.
Ester Perez says
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the waffle recipes 🙂 Thank you for sharing your results! Warmly, Ester
Sara says
Hi there...I'm unable to use potato starch due to restrictions (AIP, so no nightshades). Do you think this recipe would work otherwise? I've got cassava flour and hoping to find good recipes to use it.
Also, do you think it would work to sub a gelatine egg or flax egg for the eggs in this? Can't have those either currently.
Ester Perez says
Hi Sara,
I you can use arrowroot flour in replacement for tapioca flour. I think it would work. I did some searching and found a similar recipe that was able to make it work without eggs. You can look at both and make it work for you. Here is the link: http://tasty-yummies.com/autoimmune-protocol-waffles-cassava-flour/ Let us know how it goes. Warmly, Ester
Megan says
I am so excited to see a recipe with Cassava Flour! I have been interested in this for a while! Does the flour have a specific taste to it? Thanks for sharing!
Ester Perez says
Hi Megan, Cassava flour on its own does have a very distinctive flavor. Most people say it tastes like regular flour, but to me, it has a nutty flavor to it. That is why I added a blend of flours here. This blend tastes very good, like a regular waffle. Please let us know how you like it. Xoxo, Ester
Malu Almeida says
This seems so delicious.... Have you tried without the coconut flour? Wonder if would work..
xoxo.
Ester Perez says
Hi Malu, I have not tried it without coconut flour. I think it would work though. I would add more cassava flour. Let us know if you try it. Xoxo, Ester
