I am so honored that Brittany Angell has sent me a copy of her new cookbook, the Every Last Crumb: Paleo Bread and Beyond to review before it was even released! For months I had a close eye on this book and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.
Brittany’s new cookbook is filled with more than 150 amazing gluten and grain-free recipes for baked goods. The recipes also tend to those with dietary restrictions and many are egg, nut, and yeast-free, as well as lower in carbs.
You’ll find many of the classic bread recipes adapted to be Paleo such as sandwich breads, hamburger buns, dinner rolls, and other specialty breads such as lavash, naan, arepas, and tortillas. Recipes for breakfast treats also include bagels, muffins, doughnuts, scones, waffles, pancakes, and croissants. There are even decadent recipes for cookies, cakes and brownies!

Choosing which recipe from the cookbook to make and share with you was not easy! But the recipe for Chocolate Waffles got stuck in my head, and I asked Brittany if she would mind if I shared it with you. She said YES and I headed to the store to purchased a new waffle maker just to make this recipe.
Here is a photo I took of the chocolate waffles after I made them. I’m speechless… they are so good!!
Instead of drizzling the waffles with chocolate like Brittany suggests in her book, I drizzled mine with my caramel sauce. This is my famous recipe for caramel sauce, and it compliments these chocolate waffles and strawberries deliciously! You can find the recipe for my caramel sauce here.
The only other modification I made to the recipe was in place of baking powder, I used 1 teaspoon of baking soda. For the oil, I used melted coconut oil, and for the milk I used full fat coconut milk.
This recipe is amazing! I can not wait to make more recipes from this cookbook soon. You guys must get a copy today. This cookbook is perfect for anyone who loves to bake and is looking for Paleo and gluten-free options. Brittany’s recipes are winners, and you guys must give them a try!

Chocolate Waffles (Paleo, gluten/grain/dairy-free)
Ingredients
- 134 grams blanched almond flour, about 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons
- 68 grams tapioca starch, about 1/2 cup
- 28 grams cocoa powder, about 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon
- 2 teaspoons double-acting, aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 88 grams coconut palm sugar, about 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon
- 100 grams milk, dairy or nondairy (about a scant 1/2 cup)
- 60 grams mild-flavored oil, melted salted butter, or melted ghee (about 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon), plus more for the waffle iron
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
Toppings:
- Several fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron. If you have the option, preheat to the medium setting.
- In a bowl, whisk the almond flour, tapioca starch, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well blended. Add the rest of the ingredients for the waffles and stir to combine.
- Lightly brush the heated waffle iron with oil. Following the manufacture's guidelines for suggested quantity, ladle the batter into the oiled waffle iron and spread it evenly across the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch boarder. Cook, following the manufacture's directions. When done, set the waffle aside on a baking sheet in a low oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining waffles.
- Top the waffles with as many strawberries as you wish. If you want to take it a step further, drizzle melted chocolate over the top and add a dollop of coconut whipped topping!
- Store leftover waffles in a sealed bag or container for up to 2 days, or freeze for later. They can be popped directly into the toaster oven from the freezer.
Yield: 4 Belgium waffles or 8-10 regular waffles
Passion fruit ice cream – dairy and sugar free
Sugar Free Blueberry Butter
Truly Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Egg-free Chocolate Chip Cookies (Paleo, Vegan)
Adriana, could you please tell me what changes you would make to make this recipe for a regular plain waffle rather than a chocolate waffle? Thanks so much.
I think if you replace the cacao powder with more almond flour the recipe would still turn out well.
I just made these with my four year old son. They were everything I hoped they would be! Absolutely delicious! I served mine with almond butter, strawberries, banana and a drizzle of maple syrup. Amazing.
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback Deanne! So happy you guys enjoyed it!
Such an amazing recipe, I did not need to make any adjustments to it, it was prefect and now a firm family favourite!
That is so great Donna! Thank you for your feedback! 🙂
Yummy! I’ve made a vegan protein waffle! Delicious!

I made these waffles… And omg, they are the THE BOMB!!! I think I’ll double the batch next time! My non paleo parents also loved them!
I really hope I win this book somehow
Having started to eat paleo I have noticed a great difference in the appearance of my skin and overall health. https://twitter.com/itzia/status/545647481774546944
I forgot to say how eating paleo changed my life! I started eating paleo when a gestational diabetes diagnosis derailed my plans for a natural birth. I started researching and researching and found the paleo diet. I started following it, demanded a new blood sugar test (which I passed), found new midwives (homebirth this time) and the most amazing experience of my life! I had my baby girl naturally at home in our bathtub. Truly a life changing experience! I’ve been paleo ever since. Over 4 years now :). My link and stuff is a few comments up. http://pinterest.com/pin/24629129188208287/ (here it is again) pinned!
I love chocolate and waffles. I need to try this soon!
geez. i really need to get a waffle maker! that is one appliance i have never owned!
https://twitter.com/TokenHottie/status/543896106074005504
http://pinterest.com/pin/24629129188208287/ Done! I pinned it! I have over 8,000 pins on my paleo board and tons of followers :). Love Brittany’s recipes and would love a copy of her book.
Only hear of you recently and follow you on Instagram. Love to find great recipes for my family. Not sure how to show a link to my share on Instagram, but I’ve tag a friend on your picture.

I started eating paleo Summer 2013. At first because I wanted to lose weight. I had heard from it through my cousin, (also known as BePaleoAndThrive), who had been eating paleo for a few months at that time and felt great! So I decided to go for it, I lost 6kg in 2 weeks and decided to stick to this healthy lifestyle.
I could barely cook before I started the paleo diet, and I am now pretty much a better chef than everyone in my family hold 😀 I love cooking, but most of all, I love baking! Which is why I really really REALLY would love this book. I have been lurking Brittany’s insta for a long time now and I drool at every single one of her posts from Every Last Crumb!! It’s killing me.
Thank you so much for the chance to win, fingers crossed!!

i have more energy but i’m still having some thyroid problems. thanks for all the great recipes.
ooh, bummer, I forgot to add how Paleo helped me… I’ve been eating grain free/sugar free for over two years now (with a couple periods with grains added, but short and not frequent as they don’t make me feel too good). I feel more alert and healthier overall. Nothing like REAL food. 🙂
ah, found my answer, I never knew that! “Most baking powder used today is double-acting which means it reacts to liquid and heat and happens in two stages. The first reaction takes place when you add the baking powder to the batter and it is moistened. One of the acid salts reacts with the baking soda and produces carbon dioxide gas.” source: Joy of cooking.
I also tweeted because I can’t pass up this opportunity!!!

thanks!!!
what is double-acting baking powder and how can we substitute regular baking powder? I’d love to try to make those! Thanks 🙂

Eating paleo makes me feel overall better about myself. I first decided to make the change because I was feeling lethargic all the time and just wasn’t really happy with my overall health. Now I feel like I’m eating clean, my body feels so much more energised and it even helps with my skin too!
I absolutely love your site and recipes- I have such a sweet tooth and love the fact that I can eat yummy treats and still gain some nutritional value from them! 🙂
Hi Adriana,
First off I would like to say thankyou to you and Brittany, for hosting such an awesome giveaway, it means so much to me because I’m all the way in the beautiful Caribbean Island of Barbados and when I read that this was a Worldwide give-away I was estactic.
Eating Paleo has benefited me alot, especially with the desserts because I love to make desserts but because of my gluten sensitivity, “FLOUR AND WHEAT” are my new enemies. When I came across your website I was so elated because I can bake my desserts again and not have to worry about gluten.(PS: I love your recipes)
Thanks again 🙂

Before eating Paleo I was doing the whole non fat calorie counting typical diet, I did loose weight but I was bloted, my joints were hurting, and I stopped getting my period. I felt horrible, but once I started paleo I really started to feel better, and most importantly I am pregnant now with my first baby, due next week :-).
Can’t wait to try this; it looks great. Wonder if you can sub pwd chia seeds for the tapioca?

I stumbled upon paleo, it wasn’t a conscious choice. I started trying to improve my health and wellbeing and the simple choice was to cut out refined flours and sugars. I don’t follow it to the letter, sometimes I have blow outs and I wouldn’t class myself as someone who is on the paleo diet. I prefer to think of it as eating healthy 🙂
I do have to say I love the recipes I find on your website. They always turn out perfect and I never have to tweak them like other websites. My sweet tooth had been my biggest enemy on my path to wellness and by having these delicious sweet recipes that are healthy and delicious has been my saving grace.

Hi,
I just have one question about the chocolate waffle recipe: tapioca starch isn’t supposed to be healthy. I appreciate your thoughts on this.
I love everything I’ve tried so far. Can’t wait to give this one a try.
I would love a chance to win the free cookbook.
Thanks for making grain free an easier process.
What I love is through you and people like Brittany Angell I’m not missing out on enjoying my favorite treats but following a paleo diet allows for me to feel good and be happy with myself! I haven’t been sick or even caught a little cold in the longest time. 🙂
P.S. Waffles are my favorite!! So thank you again!

The measurements in grams is not useful.

Love your recipes, and I love trying them out with my own spin to them. A paleo diet allows me to feel healthy and when I feel healthy I feel better about myself.
Posted it on facebook ( I hope the link that I’ve attached shows that :s)
