Waffle Bread

Here's a simple recipe for van life that I use a lot.  We call it waffle bread (cuz you make it in a waffle maker) and on the internet it's called 'chaffle'.  You can go look it up and see all the different ways you can make it but I'm only interested in the simple basic way. I'll share at the end of the post, the way I use them. 

Ingredients

* 1 Egg
* 2 Tablespoons Almond Flour
* 1/8-1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
* 1 Tablespoon Sour cream, or plain yogurt or mayo

How to make them.

* Heat the waffle maker.
* Mix ingredients.
* Spray the waffle maker with oil
* Pour in half the mixture
* Cook 3 minutes
* Cool and store in the refrigerator for about 3 days

I don't exactly measure the sour cream or the baking powder because it doesn't have to be perfect but I do measure the almond flour.  Don't worry about the sour cream (or whatever you use) lumping up a bit because if you wisk it good and let it sit while the other waffle bread is cooking, you can mix it one more time before pouring and it'll be blended right in. (Some people use blenders but it works perfectly fine for me by hand.) 

I do them by one little batch at a time because it's easier for me in van life to mix in a little container and to know how much to measure out for each pour but I'm sure you could mix a bunch of it up and do it that way.  

I bought a little tiny waffle maker that doesn't pull on the generator much, in fact I might grab another one if I find one at a thrift store so I can have 2 going at once.  You could make bigger batches and use a bigger waffle maker if you wanted. 

I tried doing them without spraying the waffle maker but this is what happened. 

You can eat these like pancakes (we like them with butter and molasses) but we mostly use them like bread for peanut butter and jam sandwiches, for burgers or lunch meat / cheese sandwiches and they wrap around a hotdog really well too.   They are high in protein, super easy to digest and some people use them for specific diets but I'll let you do all your research on it for yourself. 

Note: of course it's not going to be like real bread...it's a substitute for that and it may be one of those things that you either like it or not.  We like them and maybe you will too.
