I found this recipe on a low-carb site - it was for bread, and used peanut butter, but a commenter mentioned that they substituted almond butter, and 'waffled' it. It waffles!
1 cup almond butter, smooth (I used Once Again, raw/organic)
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon vinegar (wondering if this is essential?)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 packet sweetener (optional) - you know I didn't add this, right?
The bread instructions are:
Blend peanut butter and eggs until smooth. Add in remaining ingredients. Pour into a sprayed loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Let cool before slicing.
For waffles, mix... then pour onto hot waffle iron. Ours is non-stick - I oiled it anyway.
I'm added a little dilute almond milk, because it was very thick. They're delicious! I actually squealed when the first one came off the iron. I think they'd be great as a sandwich bread, even in waffle form.
Bon appetit,
Sara

I varied this one - working from memory so I forgot the vinegar. I used:
1/2 cup of smooth supermarket peanut butter (the sort with a bit of salt and sugar added)
1 egg
1/4 tsp of baking powder
about 2 tablespoons of water
Cooked it in the waffle maker. It made two waffles and they were great. I had them with Golden Syrup, but I imagine the US folk would use Maple Syrup. Better fresh as they softened fairly quickly. But then again, I recrisped the leftovers the next morning in a frying pan.
I didn't grease my non stick waffle maker - but it sure had some oil in it after they were cooked. Guess that depends on the nuts you use.
Thanks for that recipe. So quick and easy.

Matthew developed a recipe for pancakes, using banana and almond flour, (plus an egg for a binder), several years ago, and I'll bet that a creative chef could combine these ingredients with almond or peanut butter to create a gourmet pancake mix. With the addition of baking powder/soda, it could probably be used to make first-rate waffles, also, (but maybe it would work just fine without any baking powder/soda). Surely, this could be made to work with an egg substitute, also, but possibly, an egg wouldn't even be necessary.

Here's another variation, with more almond flour, (and more information), dated March 6, 2009:banana pancakes (One banana, one egg, one tablespoon almond flour, fry up like pancakes)
And the most recent version, dated January 18, 2011, (same recipe, with additional information:I mentioned this very simple pancake idea several years ago and many members have enjoyed it. The added plus for me is that it is also grain free. This is one of my perennial favorites in that it fits so well into the Paleo diet. And all the ingredients are so easy to find. You don’t even have to decipher labels.
1 egg
1 banana
3 tablespoons almond flour (very finely ground almonds)
Mash everything together with a potato masher. A few lumps will not matter.
Pour out four pancakes and fry on a lightly greased griddle on medium heat until lightly brown. Flip and cook for a few minutes more on the other side
Fantastic with real maple syrup and even better with fresh fruit or berries on top along with a nice piece of natural home made sausage.
Well ....I am jealous that some of you can eat the gluten free pancake mixes. Every one contains tapioca that I just can not tolerate even if it is way down on the list.
On occasion I make banana pancakes. Very simple.
One not over ripe banana.
One Egg.
Three tablespoons almond flour. I prefer the kind ground without the skins.
Mash together. Some lumps will not matter.
Fry on an oiled griddle until lightly brown . Not to hot or they burn.
Makes four medium sized pancakes. They puff up even with out baking powder or baking soda.
Serve them with Fresh fruit or safe sausage and of course one hundred percent pure Vermont Maple Syrup. No substitute IMO.
