Going forward, posts will be deleted if they include photos or recipes that stray from the protocol. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...."
My comments on chaffles: Do not consume baked goods, junk foods, or treats with “approved” ingredients. Recreating or buying sweets, treats, and foods-with-no-brakes (even if the ingredients are technically compliant) is missing the point, and won’t lead to habit change. These are the same foods that got you into health-and-craving trouble in the first place—and a pancake is still a pancake, even if it’s made with coconut flour.

I kind of agree, but not in this particular case. Certainly if one is pouring maple syrup over the waffle/chaffle it's not a good idea, but adding a spoonful of almond flour doesn't make the thing evil. The recipe makes 1 normal sized waffle, not a pile enticing to overeat. Can also of course be made without the almond, but then it might be too "eggy"; can't say, I haven't tried it. This isn't something I would have tried at the beginning (and would perhaps suggest others avoid also when still learning the ropes), but after close to 7 years LCing I think an easy, quick small meal like this is perfectly acceptable. Of course, I have no binge tendencies, and lost my desire for breadstuffs awhile ago. Others may find that avoiding these is a better plan. We are all individuals, and not all of us are sucked into bad eating habits with one waffle impersonator.
