Breakfast 6/15/15

Strawberry Coconut Waffles with Yogurt Dipping Sauce



Ingredients:

Waffles-
1 c whole wheat flour
2 tsp coconut sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 c chopped strawberries
1/4 c coconut milk (any milk will do)
1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/4 c strawberry jam (I used this one http://www.thenaturalnurturer.com/blog/2014/7/7/strawberry-chia-jam)
3 T unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)

Yogurt Sauce:
1/2 c full fat yogurt (Greek or regular)
3 tbsp strawberry jam
splash maple syrup

Directions:
Mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl.  In another bowl combine milk, oil, vanilla, egg, coconut flakes, and jam, and stir till mixed.  Add strawberries.  Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the wet, stirring until just mixed.  If too thick, add a few T more of milk until you reach your desired thickness.  Spoon about 1/4 C batter into your waffle iron (or use the scoop provided if yours is like mine).  Serve hot, dipped in yogurt sauce (to make sauce just mix everything together).

Mango Coconut Donuts
http://insidebrucrewlife.com/2012/08/mango-coconut-donuts/

Modifications:
Sub 2/3 c brown sugar for 1/4 c maple syrup, 1/4 c coconut sugar. I just used plain yogurt and vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean paste.  The coconut was unsweetened and I didn't use the glaze.

I creamed the butter, sugar, and maple syrup, then added the rest of the wet ingredients.  To that I added the dry little by little (I did it all in my stand mixer).  At the very end I added the coconut flakes, put it into an icing bag, cut the end off, and piped it into my mini donut pan.
