Ingredients
  

COCONUT TAHINI WAFFLES

  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 4 tablespoons tahini, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons melted raw virgin coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • fresh pomegranate seeds, berries, or other fruit

CARDAMOM ROSE COCONUT CREAM

  • 1 cup coconut cream, refrigerated at least 72 hours I like Savoy or Aroy-D
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon rosewater, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

SESAME ROSE CACAO SPRINKLES

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, black and/or white
  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs
  • 1 tablespoon dried organic rose petals

Instructions
 

COCONUT TAHINI WAFFLES

  • Preheat the oven to warm, or around 185-200ºF. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until smooth. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth.
  • Let the batter sit while the waffle iron warms, at least 5 minutes. It will thicken a bit as the moisture is absorbed into the coconut flour.
  • Cook the waffles according to your machine's instructions, placing cooked waffles directly on the oven rack to keep warm.

CARDAMOM ROSE COCONUT CREAM

  • Combine chilled coconut cream, rosewater, and cardamom in a medium bowl. Whip cream by hand or with an electric mixer, depending on the texture of the cream, until completely smooth.

SERVE WAFFLES

  • Mix ingredients for the sesame rose cacao sprinkles in a small bowl.
  • Serve warm waffles with dollops of coconut cream, and drizzle with tahini and maple syrup. Finish with sesame rose cacao sprinkles, fresh pomegranate seeds, berries, or other fruit.
