Waffles are such a simple and quick, yet delightful treat to make especially Almond Joy Waffles. I love using coconut butter or oil because it is healthy as well as delicious, but also it enchants the flavor and aroma.

I had a plan to share a completely different recipe with you today, but you are stuck with these heavenly waffles. I must say they are probably my favorite flavor!

Almond Joy Waffles Recipe

Chocolate and coconut just go together without a doubt. 

If you want to get a really good coconut butter or oil, try to get one that is pure, organic, unrefined, cold-pressed, non-GMO, etc.

There are more than a few fantastic companies out there. I use it pretty much for everything; my hair, skin, baked goodies, cooking, smoothies, etc.

So, if you are following my blog for a long time, you know that my favorite chocolate bar is the almond joy.  

Yes, I am one of those parents when Halloween arrives, kids spill their candies out for me to check if everything is alright, and then I take all their almond joys like a ransom. I am a pretty badass like that.

Alright! I feel a little guilty (NOT), but I know that I am not alone. How many of you do it, either taking from your kids or nieces and nephews?

Almond Joy Waffles Recipe

So, you see, I LOVE almond joy… Waffles, well they are close.  They have all the ingredients, and I tried so hard to get them to taste just a bit like my favorite bars.

My daughter’s comment: “Well, ma, they taste fantastic, no question, I just need more chocolate syrup on them”, needless to say, she drenched these waffles in the pool of chocolate.  

I tell you my girl can’t survive without a piece of chocolate a day… I think it’s a girl’s thing!

Easy Waffles for Almond Joy Lovers

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 14 oz = 396g. = 3 1/4 c. All purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 large eggs, mixed
  • 2 1/4 c. whole milk, cold
  • 2 tsp. dutch cocoa powder
  • 2 drops almond extract
  • 2 drops vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil, melted + for greasing
  • 1/2 cup coconut shreds or flakes
  • 2 tbsp. chocolate syrup or melted chocolate

Topping:

  • 1 cup coconut flakes, sweetened or unsweetened.
  • 1/2 cup crushed almonds
  • 2 tbsp. chocolate syrup or melted chocolate
  • 1 cup fruits and powder sugar, optional

Instructions

  1. Mix eggs until they begin to get bubbly, then add salt, baking soda, and Dutch chocolate, then mix so the cocoa powder gets completely lump-free.
  2. Add sugar, almond & vanilla extract, and coconut oil and mix again (Place a jar of coconut oil in the pot of warm water and it will melt).
  3. Add all-purpose flour, coconut shreds or flakes, cold milk, and chocolate syrup -Whisk until it is lump-free (the mixture has coconut flakes, but try to look for flour lumps that you can break).
  4. Preheat the waffle iron. Brush coconut oil on the iron and ladle waffle batter. Close and follow the instructions for your waffle (usually green/blue/orange/ light goes on when the waffles are done cooking. If it leaks on the sides, no worries, it's normal, especially if you want thicker waffles.
  5. Carefully peel them off the waffle iron. Make sure to always brush on the oil (top and bottom) before adding batter for a new waffle. If you do not, waffles will stick to the iron.
  6. Serve them with any topping that you desire, but I'd recommend coconut flakes, crushed almonds, and chocolate syrup or melted chocolate. I find that strawberries go perfectly with it.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Pumpkin Spice Cookies

I just love the fall time and all the aroma in the air. Pumpkin spice cookies, lattes, and apple pies.

When my kids smell cookies baking in my oven they have this amazingly happy expression on their faces.

I think, or better said, I hope they will never grow out of making that happy expression when cookies are baking. It makes my heart melt.

While they were picking the leaves outside, and cleaning our backyard on this chilly day, I surprise them with warm milk and pumpkin spice cookies.

Their red and smiley cheeks were all I needed to fulfill my day. These are pretty simple. Not much mess; combine, mix, bake.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies

If you cannot find “pumpkin pie spice”, it basically contains an equal amount of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice. I used USDA Organic Pumpkin Pie Spice by Simply Organic.

These are pretty simple. Not much mess; combine, mix, bake. You can personalize them by adding nuts or dried fruit or perhaps chocolate chips.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Additional Time 10 minutes
Total Time 32 minutes

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In the bowl combine together by mixing butter and both types of sugar until creamy, then add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and oats together.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed. Stir until well incorporated.
  5. After combining all the ingredients, place in the fridge for about 10 minutes just for you to easier scoop on the baking dish.
  6. Place cookie dough balls (I use a 2 tablespoon sized scoop) on a baking sheet. This is completely optional. but I like adding sugar marks on the top of the cookies just like you would on peanut butter cookies. So I dip my fork into water then sugar and pressing it onto cookies. This is just gives a bit extra taste or texture and sweetness. Then I sprinkle with some more oats. Like I said, it is completely optional.
  7. Bake for about 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, and then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Pumpkin Spice Cookies


You may add raisins or even chocolate chips if you like.

Chopped nuts, as well as seeds, are always amazing in cookies.

Nutella and Biscoff Truffles

Nutella and Biscoff Truffles

Nutella and Biscoff Truffles

I love having sweet anything every day, in moderation, of course, but in reality, I am more going toward savory, rather than sweets.

Ever since I got a box of these yummy Biscoff cookies I really had to brainstorm what I could make with them, other than maybe crust for some kind of tart.

Well, that went well. Ahem! Anyhow, this is how Nutella and Biscoff truffles were born! These are addictive, pretty delicious and yes, they were my guilty pleasure one beautiful morning.

No baking required takes about 10 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to make them…not so bad for dessert! Huh?

Oh! And watch out on the calories, although one is really enough, you will reach for second or third. Do not say that you were not warned!

Since the Easter is coming up, I thought how cute it would be to pack them in these adorable baskets. What do you think?

The taste of the truffles is amazing. Soft, and it melts in your mouth. I actually did not need a chocolate egg in the middle but it was fun for the kids. I know it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for me, it was pretty darn awesome!

Yield: Serves 4
