These delicious, healthy alternatives to grain-based waffles are non-GMO and grain/gluten-free, containing 18g of protein, 12g of fiber, only 4 net carbs per waffle and have a near zero glycemic index!

We love lathering these beauties in Lakanto Maple Flavored Sugar-Free Syrup, snow dusting with Sun Potion Tocos and top with seasonal persimmons. Talk about the perfect finger-licking breakfast to wake up to on a cool, crisp December morning.

Blessings and love to all who are affected by the devastating fires in Southern California. For those living in the area, it is essential to soothe and moisturize the sinus and nasal passages from the excessive smoke.

The addition of xylitol helps protect sensitive tissues.
