    These look beautiful and being that coconut is one of my favorite things on earth, maybe I will be sending this to my husband as a "hint, hint." THanks for the intro to Amy :) I met her a year and a half ago at blogher, and she is adorable!

    Carrie - Thank you so much for a wonderful Mother's Day breakfast in bed! Yes, my husband and son took on the challenge this morning. I must say, these are the BEST waffles I have ever eaten! Maybe it's all the love and laughter that went into them, there was a lot of that coming out of our kitchen. This was my first Mother's Day breakfast in bed, our son is 14 :). The first time my husband and son actually cooked together in the kitchen. They even broke out the food processor they gave me for Christmas that I haven't used yet and figured out how to use it. Every step of the way I was giggling in bed. I kept wishing I could be a fly on the kitchen wall. Thanks again for the special recipe and the step by step instructions. My Mother's Day is off to a wonderful start! Have a very Happy Mother's Day, blessings and hugs. Karen

    We tried this with both coconut flour and then with almond flour because we ran out of the coconut flour. We really liked both but preferrred the almond. Of course they were too thin because of the eggs. Any suggestions to modify? With all almond flour should we use less eggs? Or mix half coconut flour and half almond?

        Thanks for letting me know. I haven't tested the waffles with other combinations of flour, and since coconut flour is tricky to work with I don't have any suggestions for you that I would feel would work without me trying them first. I'll have to give your combination a try!

    These look so great and I can't wait to try them. I am trying really hard to cut out sugar and this includes honey. Could I substitute stevia for the honey? If so, could you suggest how much?

      I haven't tested it with stevia, but I think it should work just fine. Since stevia is so sweet, I would start with 1/4 teaspoon, taste the batter, and then add more if necessary. If you give it a try, please let me know how it turns out! :)

      It comes out to about 1.3 tablespoons per person. I haven't tested it, but you could try taking it down by a couple tablespoons. The coconut flour needs lots of moisture, so you might have to compensate by adding a bit more moisture. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

    Have you tried your recipe with coconut or almond milk instead of dairy? I recently stopped dairy after suffering from sinus headaches daily for 35 days. I'm having trouble finding grain free, dairy free breakfasts. Thanks Carrie!

    I followed the recipe to a T this morning...these waffles did not turn out well. They were very dry and eggy tasting. I hate to be the first and maybe only bad review, but I like to be honest about my cooking experiences. For the sake of my coconut flour and how expensive it is, I'm going to try it again sometime. Maybe mix everything in the blender instead of the food processor. Why the use of so many eggs for so little dry ingredients?

      Thanks for the honest feedback. I'm not sure why they were dry and eggy. Coconut flour soaks up an incredible amount of moisture, so that's why the recipe calls for so many eggs. Without all the eggs, the waffles wouldn't hold together.

    I halved this recipe this morning and substituted coconut oil for butter (was all out of butter). Maybe this is just a trait of coconut flour, or perhaps this recipe really needs the butter, but they were so dry I could barely get them out of my (non-stick) waffle iron. They crumbled to pieces! I still ate the broken bits though and loaded on the coconut cream. I loved the flavor of them but the texture not so much. At least it was a really filling breakfast!

      I haven't tried it with coconut oil, so I'm not sure if that was the culprit. Did you make any other substitutions? Also, sometimes a recipe doesn't do as well when it's halved. Maybe that was the issue?

      Unfortunately, you can't substitute the eggs in this recipe. Here is a butter cake recipe from The Spunky Coconut that might be a good substitute: http://www.thespunkycoconut.com/2012/05/ooey-gooey-butter-cake-vegan-grain-free.html

    What's your secret for getting these out of the waffle maker? After trying two I gave up and threw it out. They weren't sticking any more than a regular waffle, but they tore apart when opening it and trying to lift them off. It was a disaster.

      Ultimately, I'd love a cast iron waffle maker, but all of the ones I've tried have failed (miserably!). Here's the waffle maker I use - It creates the perfect waffles and I love the pattern! http://amzn.to/1k0gF1E

    Unfortunately these came out crumbly and they broke up trying to lift them up. The recipe needs something more than just eggs to hold the together. Perhaps yogurt is not necessary.
