Gluten Free Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles

This Gluten Free Peanut Butter Jelly & Waffles recipe will make you forget you’re eating gluten free!  This recipe will give you fluffy waffles full of yummy peanut butter and jelly flavors!

When I told my 9-year-old son, Jaxon, that  I  needed to create an original recipe using peanut butter and jelly, he said, “You can leave this one up to me!”  He’s probably the only person on the planet who loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches more than I do!

Unfortunately, his first idea was not going to work out like he thought it would.  After a little trial and error and some tweaking here and there, he finally decided on the winning recipe: Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles!  I tweaked his idea a little more and we decided on making Gluten Free Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles.

Shopping for Ingredients

We headed over to Target to get everything we would need.  Target is my favorite store for home decor, the cutest office supplies, and clothing.  Being able to buy groceries there as well is a huge bonus!  It’s also the only store I can drag Jaxon to without hearing any complaining!  They really do have something for everyone and I am totally that person who goes in needing a few things and coming out with ten times as much!

We ended up buying a huge jar of Jaxon’s favorite, Jif Creamy Peanut Butter, and Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Strawberry Fruit Spread.

Wanting to keep things healthier for all of my exciting, life-changing New Year’s resolutions, I decided to make this recipe gluten-free and lower in carbs than tradition waffle recipes by using a combination of tapioca flour and coconut flour.

The results were far beyond my expectations and Jaxon has requested that I make a batch every week so he can have one before school every morning!  I am totally on board with giving him a healthy breakfast he loves before he hops on the bus!  I hope you love them just as much!
