Coconut Waffles for One
Hi friends of Colourful Palate! I’m happy Charissa invited me to post over, I’ve been a fan of her blog for a while!
Today, I’m sharing one of my all time favorite recipes. It’s super easy, incredibly delicious and low in fat, coconut waffles for one! As you can see in the below photo, I topped mine with a heaping helping of fat-free whipped cream and a pineapple shaped like a star. What’s more tropical than that?
This recipe makes just enough delicious waffle for one hungry person, which is perfect for me because I seriously struggle with portion control issues. If there were more than just one of these divine, soft and fluffy waffles, I’m pretty sure I’d eat them. Despite being full. Yep, I have a problem. It’s called being a foodie.
Another reason for the creation of just one waffle is simple, my hubby is deathly allergic. So, makes portion control a breeze and keeps him alive. Win win! I’ve made this recipe a few times and whenever I do, I tell him I’m making the “lethal tropic one.” I think I’ve ever referred to them on my own blog as that. But, unless you have an allergy, this waffle won’t kill just.
However, this breakfast will make make you crave a tropical vacation, so maybe hide your credit card and block any travel sites while you eat it :) Recipe adapted from The Corner Kitchen. Serves 1. Prep time: >5 minutes. Cook time: 5 – 7 minutes

Oh, this is such a simple and gorgeous recipe. And I <3 the pineapple shaped like a star.
This is PERFECT because: my husband doesn’t like coconut and he’s deploying very soon, so I’m going to be eating for one for waaaaaay too long, and I hate making a full batch of waffles only to have them go to waste. SO excited to try this.
Personal size recipes are the best. That waffle is so pretty, too.
Oh, and BTW Claire, I checked out your website and was surprised to see you live fairly close. I’m in Maryland.
Oh my good this looks so delicious! I want some!!!!! (:
What a way to have an exotic breakfast…Love to try this the soonest!
That is a yum-tastic looking recipe! I need more breakfast options!
I was craving a waffle and googled recipe for one person. I found your coconut waffle recipe. I made the following changes- left out the coconut milk, skim milk, applesauce. Instead I used 3/4 of a 5.3 oz. Yoplait Greek 100 calorie coconut yogurt. The shredded coconut wasn’t explained how to distribute it. So I took 1/2 of the 1/4 cup and put in with the flour.
The result was a fluffy golden-brown wonderfully coconut-flavored waffle. In a couple of weeks, we’re going on a trip where there will be a kitchenette. I’ll probably make these wonderful waffles down there. Thanks so much for posting this. Yummy!
