Key PCOS-Friendly Ingredients: Egg is provide complete protein with all essential amino acids. Coconut is contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for quick energy. Almond is provide healthy fats, protein, and magnesium.

Ingredients
- *The Waffles*
- 1/2 cup Almond Flour
- 2 tbsp. Flaxseed Meal
- 1/3 cup Coconut Milk
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp. Baking Powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tbsp. Swerve
- 7 drops Liquid Stevia
- *The Filling*
- 1/2 cup Raspberries
- Zest of 1/2 Lemon
- 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp. Butter
- 1 tbsp. Swerve
- 3 oz. Double Cream Brie
Instructions
- Mix together all of the ingredients for the waffles in a container. Make sure that the consistency is smooth and there are no lumps.
- Heat a waffle maker (I use this waffle maker) and once hot, add your batter. Allow it to cook until the light turns green or the steam levels are low.
- Take the waffles out and allow them to cool slightly.
- Slice your brie and lay on top of the waffles while still warm so that the brie comes to room temperature.
- In a pan on the stove, heat butter and swerve. You can powder the swerve in a spice grinder.
- Once the butter is starting to brown and the swerve is dissolving, add your raspberries, lemon juice, and zest of 1/2 lemon.
- Continue to stir the mixture until it bubbles and becomes jam-like.
- Under the broiler, broil the brie until melted and the waffle slightly crisp.
- Assemble the waffle together with the raspberry filling and the brie. Put into a pan and “grill” for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Enjoy this delicious treat, or share!
