Description
These Low FODMAP Chocolate Pecan Waffles are lightly sweet, chocolatey, and packed with nutty flavor. Made with gluten-free flour, low FODMAP milk, and lactose-free chocolate chips, they come together easily in one bowl and are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon (14 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips (or other low FODMAP semi-sweet chocolate chip)
- ¼ cup (55 grams) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk or lactose-free skim milk
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- ¾ cup (111 grams) Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 Baking Flour (in the blue bag)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder (use gluten-free for gluten-free)
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon fine salt, optional
- ¼ cup (28 grams) finely chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. I use a medium-low setting (number 2) on my waffle maker. If your waffle iron isn’t nonstick, coat it with your preferred nonstick spray or oil.
- Melt the butter and chocolate chips. I prefer a one-bowl method: place both in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Alternatively, melt them together in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
- Mix the wet ingredients. Whisk the sugar into the melted butter-chocolate mixture. Add the milk and eggs, and whisk again until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
- Fold in the pecans.
- Cook the waffles. This recipe makes about 1½ cups of batter. If needed, divide the batter and pour it into your preheated waffle iron. Spread evenly using a silicone spatula. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–6 minutes. Cook time may vary depending on your waffle maker.
- Serve warm.
Storage: Let waffles cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven until warm and crisp.
Notes
Low FODMAP Serving: One serving of this recipe (1 waffle square or ¼ recipe) uses low FODMAP amounts of ingredients at the time of publication. Individual tolerance may vary, and low FODMAP servings may change. For more information on specific ingredients, please refer to the Monash FODMAP App or check out the "FODMAP Notes" section (above the recipe).
Maple Syrup: I enjoy these as-is, but you can definitely serve them with maple syrup if you’d like. The suggested low FODMAP serving is up to 2 tablespoons. Just a heads-up: maple syrup isn’t included in the nutrition info.
