Have you ever heard of such a thing, like The One Ingredient Waffle? It might sound too good to be true,   but I promise it’s not. This recipe is the real deal! And better yet, it’s approved for:

• Gut health
• Carnivores
• Paleo diet
• Keto diet
• SIBO
• Candida protocols
• Whole 30 diet

Yep, it’s a true! This waffle is a treat that basically everyone can eat!  After all, when you’re healing your gut, your diet can easily feel restrictive. The best way to beat feelings of defeat and restriction is to get creative. Try experimenting, test new ingredients, opt for nutrient-dense foods, let go of the pity party, and make the one ingredient waffle! 

The Magic Ingredient 

So, what is this magic ingredient? Wouldn’t you like to know.. I’ll give you a few hints:

1. It’s used in most baking recipes.  Any guesses? No, none? Alright, clue #2:

2. It’s filled with healthy fats and protein.  Still stumped?...

These might seriously be the most delicious cookies I’ve ever tasted.  They are my go-to for every potluck and they are always devoured!  Even people who eat “real” cookies (made with wheat flour, dairy, and sugar) love them.  Trust me, they are a hit.  With super simple and minimal ingredients, they’re so easy to throw together, too.

When I’ve made paleo and vegan chocolate chip cookies in the past, they never have that same moist, chewy texture I was looking for.  But these definitely do!

Just throw all of dry ingredients in a bowl, and mix together until well-combined.

Then add the wet ingredients and mix until well-combined.  The mixture should be pretty crumbly, but once you roll them into balls, it should stick together.  You can fold in the chocolate chips at this point, too.

There’s already very minimal sweetener in this, but if you’re looking...

If you know me, you know I’m all about that dessert!  It’s my favorite meal of the day, and I can hardly get through 24 hours without it.  So, when I can make a sugar-free dessert that’s made with actual whole food ingredients (no flours here!), it brings me the most joy ever.  This recipe will bring you joy, too, because it’s super simple, easy to make, and you probably have these ingredients in your kitchen right now.

These babies are also SIBO and lowFODMAP friendly, for anybody dealing with IBS or SIBO (which I am – more on this another time!).

I didn’t have chocolate chips on hand, but feel free to add them in....

If you have a love affair with stevia, you definitely want to read this.  If you’re someone who has tried to love stevia on your quest to give up sugar, I’ve got some good news for you!

Going sugar-free is all the rage these days, and for good reason.  Sugar, in all it’s forms (yes, even coconut sugar & maple syrup!), has an endless list of side-effects, including:

Side Effects of Sugar Consumption

• Overeating
• Food cravings
• Skin issues & wrinkles
• Can lead to weight gain & obesity
• Digestive issues
• Recurrent yeast infections & UTI’s
• Candida
• Inflammation
• Mood disorders (depression, anxiety)
• Diabetes
• Arthritis
• Autoimmune disorders
• Hormonal issues
• Fatigue
• Feeds cancer cells

Many consumers are finally getting hip to sugar’s destructive ways and making the switch to stevia. But what is it and is it good for you?

Stevia is a plant that has been used for over 1,500 years...
