Sunday mornings in our house are for 3 things…
Sleeping in, snuggling, and waffles!
It’s become a Sunday morning tradition to make a big batch of waffles for everyone to enjoy at their leisure, whenever they happen to wander in to the kitchen.
The Peeps and The Hubs douse their waffles in our homegrown maple syrup. I, on the other hand, am perfectly content with the slight sweetness in the waffles themselves and generously slather mine in grass-fed butter. Yummmmm….
Then one day, I had a strong craving for pizza. And it occurred to me that using my low-carb Belgian waffles as the “crust” might just work.
With my 3-minute pizza sauce, some mozzarella, and nitrate-free pepperoni, my pizza craving was satisfied!
These grain-free, low-carb Belgian waffles are truly versatile and can serve both sweet and savory purposes.
4 Savory Ways To Eat Belgian Waffles!
Should you find yourself in need of pizza or a sandwich, but want to stay low-carb and grain-free, use these waffles as your crust or bread! (Simply omit the sweetener blend and vanilla if you have the foresight to know that you want to use them in this way.)
Pizza: It helps to toast the waffles a bit first, then add pizza sauce and toppings, and then place under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly.
For a Sandwich: Toast the waffles first, then add the condiments, meats, cheese, and veggies of choice — but be aware, this will be a THICK and very filling sandwich!
Garlic Toast: I successfully used these waffles as garlic toast to accompany a soup, too! Toast them slightly first, then spread with butter. Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, and dried parsley on top of the butter and bake again until toasted or crisp.
Taco Waffle: (Pictured above) Toast the waffles slightly first. Then spread with a bit of enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until the cheese melts. Add seasoned taco meat and more cheese on top. Bake again. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cilantro or a dollop of sour cream or guac.

Do you have any sustitution for the cashews, my son is allergic to them.
Thanks
You could try the recipe with another soaked nut, if you like. I haven’t personally experimented with other nuts, however. Cashews are very neutral tasting, which is why I chose them for this recipe. Let me know if you figure something out!
If we used cashew butter instead what would be the correct measurement??? Thank you
Sorry, I can’t give a measurement for cashew butter because I have never made this recipe w/ cashew butter.
